I hate to say this but this is the worst team assembled in years! They lack the gambling killer instinct! I believe a team of Bergman, Danny Smith, Josh Roberts, Jeremy Jones, & Justin Hall would torch both squads on the mosconi cup today!!! Oddly, none of these guys are selected and watching from home! Lol
Just sad!!!

We've been outscored 15 games to 2 games in the final 3 matches today, and actually 18-2 since Oscar led his match vs Ralf by 3-2 before losing the final 3 games. I would say this has snowballed out of control, and I can't imagine what the coach can possibly say to his team at this point that could turn it around tomorrow.
I disagree that these players are not seasoned players who have proven they can play at the highest level, particularly when gambling. I'd like to think that if they went down to Griff's Thursday night after this is all over, and matched up one-on-one against the Euro players in long races or ahead sets for the 20k winner's fee each of the Euro players are about to win, that we could win 3 of those 5 matchups.
I wouldn't doubt they'll be some of our players that will make that proposition to their adversaries, and I'm guessing they'll be turned down, as the Euro's will be too busy celebrating their victory.
