Great news. Now he can play for US team Mosconi cup. We need it.
I am not against Russia starting their own "version" of Mosconi Cup.

Now we'll be able to separate the wheat from the chaff.

They have it. The Kremlin Cup.
Wikipedia shows it has not been active since 2021.
If a European country hosts an exhibition event like Mosconi Cup, then which Euro player would you name the cup after?
I was referring to Russia having a Mosconi Cup for namesake. Were any of the old American players from the Soviet Bloc?
It's a great day for pro pool. Fedor is a credit to our game as both a competitor and a gentleman.
As brilliantly as he's playing right now, Fedor can't reach his fullest potential without regularly competing against the very best. Now that he can travel internationally, the coast is clear for him to do so.
Wishing him the best.

Because of covid and war, genius.
Guess they don't teach that at "The Academy".
Your telling me pool was the only thing they took away during that time.
Its not like they had that much before all that.
Maybe, but if history repeats, he won't. Parica, Thorston, Mika, both Fischer's, Shaw, and others I'm forgetting, have lived in the USA for decades (except Shaw). They still represent their home countries during international competition.Great news. Now he can play for US team Mosconi cup. We need it.
Why do you think they haven’t held it since then? Any thoughts come to mind?
Anything that might perhaps prevent any kind of event being held?
Any guesses?
If the top guy in that country doesn't like it, no one likes it.
Did any of them apply to become citizens? I may be misinterpreting this but my understanding is that is what Fedor is doing. If so, I would assume that once he became a citizen he'd be eligible to play for Team USA.
he is applying for a green card
that is not the same as applying for USA citizenship

Having a Green Card (officially known as a Permanent Resident Card (PDF, 1.69 MB) allows you to live and work permanently in the United States.
The biggest name in the history of European pool is Ralf Souquet.
Ouch!
