Barely justifies a response. Calling Gorst an idiot for a bad shot shows us all who the real idiot is. Go play in the NPR forum if you want to be a troll
Why is this so hard to watch? Neither side seems on really. I don't feel the fire. Still best thing on!
Shane overplays position on a wide open shot. He’s lost in space.

A quarterback throwing into double coverage that led to a pick 6 is an idiot no?
Yes Gorst was an idiot earlier today.
Game 6
FSR breaks making the 1, 4, and 6, but they have no easy shot. Filler screws up the safe.
Gorst has a long tough cut on the 2 with the CB up against the bottom end rail, and he undercuts it, leaving a long tough cut down the side rail.
FSR barely catches the side pocket point and leaves an open shot for team USA.
Shane overruns shape on the 3, leaving Gorst in a tough spot. The cross-side bank is open, but he hits it short.
Filler has a long tough shot on the 3 which he pounds in with incredible force-follow and runs the CB back down length of the table to get perfect on the 5. They should be out from here. And they are.
Score: 3-3

That was ridiculous. This guy's amazing. Getting a kick out of watching him wearing that USA jersey, too. Greatness indeed.

I think this Mosconi cup has run its course. Probably need a qualifying format where participating countries must go through qualification etc...etc... to finally be on the main stage.
I've had to work, so not been tuning in much. USA won this thing yet or wut?
Shane has a long cut shot on the two after a good break by Gorst. He is in no shape to take it on and pushes out instead. No surprise there.
Anyone who calls someone a "snowflake", absolutely cannot fight.
You called Fedor an idiot earlier. I stated wearing a mask of Fedor's face is disrespectul. You then tried to make an analogy of someone wearing a Lebron face mask as the same thing as what's going on here. This tells me you don't know what's going on. There is a reason they are wearing the mask, and that reason is why it's disrespectful. If you're not up on current events or pool politics, then I guess you would be confused and see it as a normal sports thing.
But I assure you, they are not wearing the mask because Fedor is an "idiot" or sucks at pool, they were wearing it before he even shot a ball. You make it seem like they are wearing it because they obsoletely knew Fedor would lose the first 2 games of the day. If you really believe it's about his talent on the table, you are just ignorant.
You seem to throw out that word an awful lot for any person who makes a mistake, which is everyone. You should learn to be more compassionate and kind, like a classy like a European, if you will. I would never call your mom an idiot for carrying you to term, for instance.
Shane looks so uncomfortable shooting the two straight in and once again overplays position. The result, Euro now leads 4-3.
Game 7
Gorst breaks, making the 1 in the side but has only a very tough cut on the 2. SVB elects to push, leaving a long thin cut on the 2 from the other side.
Filler likes the shot, but undercuts the 2 in a 2-way shot.
Gorst has a tough look on the 2 with the CB frozen to the rail, and overcuts the 2-way shot.
FSR left with another tough shot on the 2, has to jack up over the 8. He leaves a look on the 2.
Shane makes the 2 but overruns shape. Gorst can only thin the 3 for a safe, but he screws it up and leaves an easy 2-4 combo.
Filler makes the combo. They should be out from here. And they are.
Filler/FSR lead 4-3

Smelling a skunk?
The fix is in!
Filler scratches on the break. BIH for USA
Game 8
Filler breaks, makes the 1 but gets an unlikely CB kiss which redirects it into the side pocket.
Shane takes the BIH and it's a table they should be able to handle. The shot on the 4 looked like a good opportunity to also make the 9, but Shane elected to slow-roll it and the 9 missed by a wide margin. Shane played a questionable shot on the 6 and left Gorst nearly tied to the 7 ball. Gorst pulled off a great shot leaving Shane perfect on the 8. They're out and we're HILL-HILL
Score: 4-4
