JJ subs for Shane who mysteriously comes down with covid, and we put together a GoFundMe to buy Filler’s immigration to the US.

Man. Today was quite brutal. I hope JJ can right the ship and get us back on course for tomorrow.
Classic introvert....
Man had tough upbringing with his peers.
The minute you tell yourself don't be nervous...you just admitted you are.
Pool gods just screwed US the 4th set. What does it take to get a roll?
US needs to win 3 or 4 sets tomorrow or this one is going to get ugly.
Well at least Sky did nothing wrong....somehow it softens the blow when you never see a shot.
Filler is a beast. Watching him play the ghost out of Roy's Basement for money was just the most amazing thing. People kept betting me he couldn't win ... and he kept doing it. His top gear for an offense only game is unwordly.

Anybody not called SVB
Yeah, that 9 ball was bad but then that 7…that was just an unbelievable miss
thanks
but very sorry to learn that
I think he should have hit both of those with authority. The 9 with low outside. The 7 with mid/low draw to shoot the next ball in the same pocket.
I can’t figure out why he left himself as long as he did on the 9 ball - wasn’t the 8 ball virtually hanging in the pocket? Then the miss on the 7 was even worse. He was straight in and all he had to do was to draw back to play the 9 in the same pocket. Mosconi Cup pressure!

And according to Matchroom (Barry & Emily), this event is the best you could ever get in nineball (to put the brand of the game the way they like).
Shane doesn’t ever miss that nine and he knows it. He makes that ball 99 out of 100. Missing that ball short circuited him mentally.
I would also say had he broke and ran that game the outcome would be much different. That would have set a different tone and would have lifted up the teams confidence.
But missing that nine caused team USA to have to sit there and watch team euro smirk and laugh at Shane and their team and on top of that the euro fans were ignited also hard to shake.
Brutal situation.

Nothing against anyone, JJ should've made Fedor or Skyler the lead-off and take the pressure off SVB. Instead made Fedor 4th? Obviously this is not a format SVB is comfortable with and Skyler loves it and Fedor is Fedor
Time for a new captain. Anybody that's paid even a little attention knows SVB does not play well in the Mosconi. Jeremy set the team up for failure running SVB so early. I would have had him ranked 3rd on the team, maybe even 4th as Tyler's B game is getting pretty solid.
The Mosconi has ALWAYS been about your B game, not your A. It's about how poorly you're capable of playing, not how great you can. Shane can play very poorly in the Cup and everybody knows this. I guess except for JJ.
