Now our two best players on paper. Why am I not hopeful?
Filler fires in a long four from off the end rail!
Game one to Euro
If USA ends the day down 3-6, I will call all of my relatives who I despise and make peace with them.
If they end the day 0-9, I will continue as normal.
If they end the day 0-9, I will continue as normal.
Open rack for USA. Will they, can they?
Game 1 - SVB/Gorst vs Filler/FSR
Shane breaks, making the 1 but the CB gets an unlucky kick to the jaws of the corner pocket. Fedor has a look at a long rail cut on the 2, which he drains, but couldn't get good shape on the 3. Shane drains the very thin cut on the 3 but gets snooked on the 4. Gorst double-kisses the safe and leaves a long tough shot for their opponents.
Filler drains the tough 4 to the cheers of the crowd and gets good on the 5. Should be easy from here, and it is.
Filler/FSR up 1-0

Weren't you the one who was calling Gorst (from Europe) names just a couple pages ago? Way to generalize an entire country, you soft ass keyboard warrior.
Looks like Fedor will be spending all match trying to clean up after SVB.
LMAO that kick (literally) by Shane!

No they can’t!
This game became a struggle, and this time USA won one.
If that 9 stayed up after wobbling by Fedor, I would've slapped my grandma.
No matter what, it feels like too little too late. It’s a mismatch.
Dude I can't even enjoy my beer while watching this, so depressing.
Game 2
FSR breaks dry, leaving an easy 1 and a wide-open table.
Gorst overruns shape on the 2, leaving Shane more work than necessary to get back on the 3, where Gorst makes a beautiful shot with perfect shape on the 4. Should be easy from here. Gorst comes up a little short on the 6 ball shape, Shane is going to have to pull off a monster draw 3-railer stroke. He almost did, but it came up short. Gorst plays a great kick-safe.
Filler makes a perfect 2-rail kick to put the Americans - hard to overstate how extraordinary it was.
Shane slams a kick into the 7, needs luck and gets it by snookering them behind the 8.
FSR makes a weak kick-safe, leaving a long cut down the rail on the 7.
Gorst drains the 7 and leaves Shane good on the 8. They're out.
Score 1-1

Now Euro has an open rack. Watch what happens.
Europe do be getting dem roadmaps when the opportunity to run out arises, but the difference is they mostly take advantage of their opportunities, while USA seems to be throwing it.
FSR can't do anything wrong, even when he does.
Omg, Ruiz dogged the four and lucked it in.
2-1 E
