Johan back at 2026 Mosconi Cup Healm

[iusedtoberich]

i doubt johann would pick hohmann though. he's yippy and pushing 50.

Top 3 in automatically. Johann won't have a choice to leave Thorsten off. He has a big lead over the pack after 4 months of the year have been played.

I guess this confirms that Atencio is not an option this year. I doubt Thorsten will stay #1 though, we have a ton of events to go before the MC.

Agree he won't stay #1. But other than Shane and Fedor, I doubt the other USA players will surpass him. I'd guess he's going to go to every WNT event. The other's won't.

The Mosconi Cup is such a farce.

Third, Johan is unlikely to play favorites. He likes hard-working players who show their commitment to the game by competing a lot.

Do you really think he will have anything close to resembling a final say in the picks?

I'm okay with that, because if they can't surpass a 50 year old then they don't deserve to be on the team. Thorsten's MC record isn't the best either.

From what I've seen of the way he works, I would be surprised if that was left out of his agreement with Matchroom.

Point well taken. We can only hope so.

Tyler Styer under Johan's coaching is a completely different Mosconi Cup player.

Tyler's fundamentals are as good as anybody on the pool scene.

Would be shocked if Tyler wasn't in the team.

Delusional. If that's the case, then ANYONE under Johan's coaching is exceptional. Nothing can prevent Tyler from dogging those 9ball's like he did last year. That's all his own doing, NOT lack of coaching.

Seems like you're trying to make excuses for last year's performance.

Hunter Lombardo under Johan's coaching is a world-beater I guess.

Yes. He would not have agreed to the role otherwise, if you listen to recent interviews before he took the job.

Team USA will now have 3 Europeans, hahahah.

Johan, Gorst, Hohmann.
