I want Earl back next year!

Im a newbee here comparatively. I may even be the lowest skilled on this forum I don't know. What I do know though is growing up Earl Strickland was one of the pool players I thought to be one of the worlds greatest. I think a big part of that image in my head is not just his ability to shoot great pool. When I was growing up I saw him as a role model for the good things in pool. I have seen him shooting pool in a few tournaments throughout my life. I think that Earl needs to regroup his mental game honestly. I have seen him miss a shot and get irrate over it use bad language when he did and even go as far as slamming his cue on the table during televised events. I personally see this as unsportsmanlike conduct. Getting emotional in a positive way is far better for the sport then a negative way.
We need a cure for cancer.
Berg, sky, earl, archer, md.
I spotted both Chamat and Shaw in the crowd there. I know Shaw was by the Euro side this year as well.
How many non playing Americans were on the sideline this year to show their support to Team USA?
Listen. If you're going to make a case for Earl to be on the team, then don't say he doesn't rattle under the pressure.
When he very clearly does (he's not the only one)

That childish hissy-fitty idiot who can't even play decent safeties as of late?
He might be good in attack mode, but completely clueless in escapes and serious safeties. Go and watch the MC matches or some other doubles.
As soon as he looses his "I will win" (not even WE) he completely falters.
He needs to retire his "the shot maker"-title, too - because he can't, anymore.
Even a "newbie" as Albin beats him here.
Cheers!
Even talking to him in person, I wasn't sure if it was Jeremy Jones in attendance or not. If not, it was a definite look-alike.
Jennifer Barretta and Allison Fischer were there, and the only players I recognized for sure. Chamat was the Euro coach, so of course he was there.
Sorry I was referring more to players that could play for Team USA. So Barretta and Fischer don't count. Plus I thought Fischer was from the UK?
I`m over Earl. Would rather sink or swim with the young guys.
No body in thier right mind would put Earl on the MC team as a choice and he's not good enough to shoot his way on it

I want Earl too, but he has to earn a spot by performing well in the tournaments in 2016, unless the captain picks him (which is never gonna happen
)Nobody is guaranteed for a seat at Mosconi Cup, they have to earn it. :grin-square:
Earl has one of the highest winning percentages in this event (Mosconi Cup)...BTW..."No body" is one word and "thier" is spelt "their".
To the guy that wants to bring women into the Mosconi Cup: DO YOU WANT AN EVEN WORSE BEAT DOWN? Europe gets Kelly and Alison Fisher along with Ewa and Jasmin. What America girls are going to stand up to that. You're kidding me right? America's got Janette Lee and NOBODY. This is hilarious.
With respect to Earl isn't it time to get him on his meds and forget about him. Nobody beats father time and his time is over. Also, who needs his drama. Woodward and Bergman were our two best players. Cory sucked, Mike sucked, Shane was OK - sort of and Earl would suck worse than Cory and Mike. Europe could send over three separate teams and each would beat us. Mark Gray and Nick E are both better than Van Den Berg.

The Yankees have won the most World Series.
I guess I should bet on them to win it every year.
There is no Allison Fischer! There's the American Alison Fischer, and UK Allison Fisher (aka Duchess of Doom) I don't know if Fischer was there but I saw Fisher in the crowd!
Thanks for clarifying
