Well, Shane needs to stay away from those table games -- from all casino games -- and concentrate on practicing and team building.

I see Team USA as capable of only winning if they are front running. If they take any heat at all, all the fake bonding and putting personal differences to the side will go right out the window.
They have all the talent though so you never know how it will go. Will be interesting for sure.
It's a shame people like you have freedom of speach. What's the UK word for morron?
Mark Wilson dosent have a plan you must be joking! He can't even pick wildcards correctly. You think mark wilson is some high praise. Let the usa get embarrassed a few more times we shall see how long he stays in place. You want proof? Look at last year's team selections. Look at the activities he had them do prior to the cup, redicilious and SVB will vouch for that! He may be a good ole boy but right now he is personal responsible for 2 embarrassing mosconi cups. That's on him!

Bash Skyler as you like, but in what I'd call the three toughest fields of the year in American nine ball, all of them on big tables, Skyler finished as follows:
Derby City 9-ball: 6th
Turning Stone: 13th
US Open: 17th (I think)
On the big tables, Skyler outperformed Archer this year. Johnny didn't cash at Derby City or the US Open, and his performance at the US Open included an 11-1 loss to Souquet, not the hint that he's ready for Europe's best. By comparison, Skyler demolished former Europe Mosconi Cup player Tony Drago by a score of 11-3. Skyler outplayed Archer this year on both the big tables and the small tables. Deal with it.
Oscar wound up beating Sky in Vega$ but for the last 1.5 - 2 hours of their match, on a super tight Diamond table - Sky played some of the best 9 ball I have ever seen. And I've seen a lot in 25 years. I think he missed one makeable ball and made a bunch that weren't makeable.
Sky can also keep the team lose if he can take on that role. That was suppose to be the role of Schmidt last year. And a Sky plays better too.
This fool kagewest and his opinions -- unfortunate he doesn't have a bankroll to back them up.

You're an idiot.
Why do you keep embarrassing yourself with these silly posts? If anybody offered Sky the 5 and out there might be a fistfight in the parking lot to see who puts the money up.
Also, I asked you this in another thread "Please report back if Scott is on Rodney's "Missconi" cup team?" Since you didn't get back to me I'll answer for you it's NO. So if Scott can't make Rodney's team why should he make Mark's?
I've grown to like Scott so this is nothing personal.
Yup, Oscar is a fine player and he'll be on the Mosconi Team in the future, but he didn't place well in the big events this year and that's why Skyler beat him out.

Oscar is a fantastic player for sure with one of the best safety-games I've ever seen. That being said, I also see him dog makeable shots (varying difficulties by the way) some of the time. Granted, pro players all miss shots some of the time but Oscar has a higher average of missed shots than other pros in my opinion.
I'm still a huge fan of his and respect his game immensely but I can't help but notice this trend in his play.

I'm sure we'll beat this subject to death before and after the Mosconi Cup. I like the selections that Mark picked for this years cup. But, are they the best five we have? We'll see. I think that Dennis Hatch should be on the team. I believe that he has the best game after Shane in the USA. But he doesn't play enough to get seriously considered. Not sure why that is but regardless he is such a huge presence and he has the fighter image about him that if he gets on a role, watch out. I am not optimistic about our chances.
-Home field advantage for the young guns
-Win the 5 player team game and get the first point
-Practice the lag and 9 on the spot
-Watchez is the teacher

With the lead, without the lead, with or without the first point, I don't think any of it matters.
If we play well in singles, we'll be in the thick of it with this team. If we don't, Team Europe's work will be easy.
Agreed about the lag. When Americans warm up, it seems they never practice it, but owning the double hill break in a race to five format with alternate break is huge. You can rest assured they'll practice whatever break is in use.
How did you come up with this prediction, with all of the possible outcomes you had to consider?
You sir have no case. You shouldn't be allowed to have an opinion. Please stay in England!
I was told by both Mark and Justin, the players are not allowed to hit balls on the TV table at all except for the match. They practice on tables behind the scenes and the TV table plays faster most likely because of the lights and lack of play that the practice table(s) get. That is not making an excuse for the poor performance on the lags, but an interesting fact. Mark did mention that he tried to get them to practice the lag more last year on their own time, but they apparently didn't as much as they should have.
Sometimes you have to just go with your gut.
I'm pretty sure that's exactly what Hitler said right after his decision to fulfill his vision, but to each his own.
How are you still here? Are you one of the mods trying to have some fun? Couldn't be that though, you're too ignorant
