Now the teams have been confirmed (www.mosconicup.com If you dont know who they are) Who do you like at this early stage?
Europe or America?
Europe or America?
AzHousePro said:America all the way. Not just because I live here, but because I just don't think the European team is as strong as the US team.
I realize that there are already 2 Germans on the Euro team, but where is Thorsten? How about Appleton? He had a great US Open. Daryl Peach?
Mike

ill take that betcuetechasaurus said:LOL are you kidding me? They would get drilled!!!! In 9ball, Great Britain players don't hold a candle to the Germans.
Snapshot9 said:USA has the edge in 9 ball. Engert, Van de Berg, and Majid I would not consider Elite 9 ballers.
I see something like 11-8 for the USA.

pharaoh68 said:I hate to bust people's bubbles but cuetechasaurus is right. This All-Great Britain team would get hammered. They may be solid shooters but they don't hold a candle to some of the Mosconi Cup usuals from Europe like Chamat, Immonen, Souquet, and even the passed over Hohmann.
MyraCurfs said:I disagree... It's is not all about the ability to play. I think in 9-ball anyone who makes it in say; the last 16 of a Eurotour or de last 16 of a US open would look great in the Mosconicup. I think the difference is the mentality in teamspirit! You see europe is just a name, it does not excist. They put 6 people together and they call it Europe. It just doesn't work that way. So if you look upon it.. a GB team.. Dutch team.. German team would always do better then a mixed team.. But the fact that they put Earl in gives us an advantage.... everybody in europe wants him to lose.. so that's gives us some "brotherhood". You know when they choose Alcaide... it wasn't the smartest move.. because the guy isn't able to speak more english then yes, no and thank you, you can not build teamspirit on that! Ok he has a great poolheart and he does not have to speak... but it's hard to fit in...
