Justin Bergman going to Mosconi Cup for Team USA

J SCHWARZ said:

Some people will never be happy and this thread is a perfect example. Johan and JJ obviously know what they are doing by the respect our team has given them. The younger players on the team are playing better and are more mentally fit after working with Johan and JJ. Last year we actually looked like a functioning team there to win. Congrats to Bergman for making the team again, its long overdue. Whomever made the choice simply decided to put on the man they saw as best fit for the job. Life is not always fair, rules/protocol get broken from time to time. Matchroom is doing great things for pool in this country. As far as rotation goes in this country the Mosconi Cup and Matchrooms US Open

are the most anticipated events we have. It didnt get that way because they dont know what they are doing. Don't like it boycott it, Im sure they'll miss you.

I've read and most of the posts in this thread and haven't found anyone who questioned the skills of Johan and Jeremy as teachers and coaches of those players selected for Team USA. On the contrary, they are viewed as exceptional and very effective in this regard.



As you add "life is not always fair, rules/protocol get broken from time to time," it shows that you appreciate ad understand the situation. I also haven't read of anyone suggesting that Bergman doesn't give Team USA a better shot than Eberle or Deuel, We all get that, too.



As one of the "never will be happy" crowd as you label us, I just feel that the selection process needs greater definition and refinement for 2020, to be fair to future Mosconi hopefuls. As for 2019, Bergman is on the team and it's time for American fans to root for him and Team USA.



That said, though, but to be unconcerned about possible ramifications of inadherence to the selection rules as announced by Johan and Jeremy is, in my opinion, shortsighted.

Agree with everything you said!

Except that Eberle beat Bergman twice to prove who is better.

To omit the defeat and claim superiority is what makes me cringe.....

Why have them play each other then negate the results and call them invalid....

They never even announced the possibility of revival of the dead...

I understand your argument and it’s valid. Unfortunately they will be playing team Europe and not each other. Plus this call is about who is hot NOW.

This time I'll better just say I'm so anxious and looking forward to this MC with the best (imho) production quality Matchroom always offers to the viewers. If there is one single pool event which has the best chances to gain the kids attention then it's definitely MC and what is the future of the sport without kids coming?
There were upsets in both teams when it comes to the last spot but all I hope to see one more competitive cup with some drama till the end and let the better team win

Bergman is a tremendous asset to the USA team, IF they have a time clock at that thing.
Otherwise, Bergman will drive you batty with his... look over here, look over there, get down, get back up, look again, get up and chalk the cue again, get back down, get back up then check one more spot, walk around the table, then walk around it again, then chalk again, and finally get down and pull the trigger.
Takes a lot of patience to watch that guy play.
