yea kind of agree with JJ and scott that europe have gotten the better leaves / rolls after the break. i think FSR and david have had really good cb control though. getting cb close to center table increases your chances for a look

Agreed...what % of that is luck versus skill....seems like they know something we don't at this point about the break

Last two matches today looking like must wins for a chance on day 4

 

[SA96]

Has the crowd been scolded during a tv time out?
So much quieter now.

No, the crowd knows the USA is in big trouble.

 

[jb444]

Billy with a fantastic shot from 4 to the 5 and the ensuing runout in rack 4 to make it 2-3...maybe he has a chance here

 

[skip100]

Great out by Thorpe.

 

[skip100]

Jeremy Jones is obviously a great pool player but he needs to amp up the excitement a little bit, or more than a little bit. The European-aligned announcers go wild whenever a European player hits a great shot while JJ always sounds sleepy.

ah.. Let's totally have the ladies dressing in 1950's secretary pool attire. THAT'S how we grow pool.

Ain't nothin wrong with a pencil skirt and a nice blouse.

Still haven't seen the lady in question, but I can guarantee it wouldn't have crossed my mind to criticize.

Maybe y'all can make a thread in NPR to discuss gender studies and fluidity...let's keep it to the match.

USA have been awful at breaking.

 

[skogstokig]

think they'll pull the jayson sky match if david wins this?

 

[Mousa]

USA have been awful at breakin.

They have been great at the lag though! They must have won most of them! So they are breaking more, and most importantly, first!

 

[Mousa]

think they'll pull the jayson sky match if david wins this?

No! The order of play has been determined from the start of the day!

 

[skip100]

Safety play is the obvious difference between the two teams. Europe's players are simply better at this key skill, and by quite a bit.

 

[SA96]

So if the USA don't win the next match, we won't see match 5.

 

[SA96]

think they'll pull the jayson sky match if david wins this?

They only pull if the team has a chance to go to 10.

Not really. Europe has just screwed up less. Way less. Our breaks haven't worked and we get out less.

Alcaide's family is clearly the MC winner this year

yeh, but that doesn't matter.

 

[DaWizard]

Did Wolford not qualify? How did he develop last year? He played very promising last year.

 

[Fatboy]

They will postpone the last match until tmr.

They won’t come out with Europe only needing 2 wins.

They need the 4 full day (as much as possible) production.

 

[skip100]

Gorst and Styer up 1-0 after a miss from Shaw.

 

[Coos Cues]

Mute the sound of the idiots babbling
