And should be on the cup team change my mind.....

Just cause he hurts svb feels doesn't mean shit. Especially when svb cant get his shit together during the cup. Personality or not I'm sure mike has changed in the past few years and deserves another shot.

Svb
Sky
Bergman
Mike
Billy

In that order

Does he even play anymore?
 
When you act like a prick on more than one occasion, treat fellow players, sponsors, and tournament staff like shit, you can't right well straighten out your attitude and then feel you're owed a seventh chance.
 
Bull shit. We all have people on our lives we give a million chances. Some of us have been given a million. And winning the mosconi cup isnt about who you are. It's about setting shit aside and coming together. Talent is talent and mike has it. It's been years now. People DO change over time. No one is the same from 18 to 21.....21 to 25....25 to 33... it's worth a shot. Europe is too strong for corey, chris and tyler. Mike is a world beater. I'd take him 2 to 1 in the money vs any of the 3 players I mentioned

Depends on which Corey shows up, otherwise spot on.
 
Europe doesn't care who's naughty or nice! They put their best out there and you gel or you dont....🤷‍♂️ that's up to the captain and to put the players with other players doubles or singles based on gel and their strengths... but you do it with your BEST players. I mean...the difference between 10k or 20k when tourneys all over are getting cancelled.....pretty huge...

Thats because all of Europe's players are champions

Right at what point do we bring "north america" or people who reside in the usa into the fold? After we lose another 8 in a row? I realise we've won the last 2 BUT....if it gets 1 sided again and we arent putting our best out there or....I mean matchroom and the world want close matches and back and fourth....THIS European teams only competition is chinese Taipei or the Philippines....

You think Dechaine is a leader? Haha! If he were on the team it would be way worse.

Which is exactly why we probably need to focus more on selecting players with team dynamic who are good ambassadors for the sport (i.e., not Dechaine) than talented toxic-one-man-wonders.

He didn't say Mike was a leader, although he may be one now since he's had a job the last few years. Its hard to become a leader when you play a sport that is usually you against the world.

Fact is, Mike can flat out play

Uh, everyone on Team USA can play. Playing well together is a different story.

Politely...Svb is a toxic 1 man wonder who doesn't play well with others too. Just because he's not "as douchey" as mike doesn't mean he isn't part of a "team" problem...there are plenty of people that don't get along with shane too....maybe mike was just ahead of and on the wrong side of the curve....

Either way...we need our best playing....
