Matchroom Sport founder and chairman Barry Hearn says he has big plans for Team Europe following their emphatic Mosconi Cup victory over USA at Alexandra Palace.
Hearn admits they need to do something about it quickly, otherwise Europe will blow them out the water again. He also plans to take on the best of Asia in a similar style format to the Mosconi Cup.
"You have to say European pool is in a good place," Hearn told Sky Sports. "They've got better and better every year and now they're in danger of running over America unless they get something right.
"These guys are so confident and they operate so well as a team together that they're going to take a hell of a lot of beating.
"I've spent the last couple of days talking to the greatest pool players in Asia and I'm going to bring these guys back to play the top player from China, from Korea, from Philippines and see if we can test these guys because they weren't really tested against these Americans who weren't good enough."
