Do you think there are more pressure on the players playing in front of their home crowd (Europe) or the players having to travel and play in another country (US)

Pressure level is dynamic. It'll really pile on when a team is down by 3.

Yes. Just watch SVB dog it. The chihuahua runs free at the Mosconi Cup.

The U.S. looks like they're at a funeral. Talk about some hang-dog faces. Better get going or its gonna get real ugly.

So far, two pathetically played matches by Team USA. Just like last year, we are being badly outplayed in the moves game (defense/kicking/two way shots) and SVB is playing at the very bottom of his game, which has to be demoralizing to his teammates.

Somebody better step up soon, or this could get really embarrassing.

Dechaine, who didn't hit a single ball in the Team Match, is up next and maybe he can find something special against the great Feijen.

PS Albin Ouschan is playing the kind of pool that won him the World 9-ball Championship this summer. Despite a missed nine ball, Albin's play has been breathtaking.
