Mosconi Cup 2024, Nov. 30-Dec. 3, Orlando

[trob]

I don’t find myself as interested this year as past years. I don’t mind losing but we just aren’t even in it and it’s obvious. I’d at least like to see it close. as soon as sky and gorst dogged that game on the hill they were gifted the last match of day 2 you knew it was over. If your a football team and your best players are your running back and qb And they both play bad you just can’t win. I feel the other 3 played as well as expected but you can’t have svb and gorst just playing bad and not winning Year after year. Something needs changed to make this interesting again but I have no idea what .

Time to recruit semi-washed USA residents Thorsten and Mika to Team USA?

We need Gomez and Shaw

shane took the day off?

We need Gomez and Shaw

Shaw defecting to Team USA would be hilarious. Might as well entice him with some big $$$ to do it. It’s already pool’s version of the WWE so play up the drama and narratives.

Let's not forget Vitaliy Patsura.

Anyone who calls SVB the "GOAT" is delusional.

What kind of "GOAT" never turns up in the biggest event of the year?

Imagine Mahomes choking at the Super Bowl every year.

Another Mosconi Cup where SVB did nothing.

Too soon bud, too soon. Settle down.

More apt comparison would be Mahomes choking at the Pro Bowl. SVB not performing well at the Mosconi Cup detracts like 1% from his legacy as a pool player. Pool is a solitary sport and he has dominated for almost 20 years.

Some of these trolls have no clue. Due to his deafness SVB has always been and always will be the 'lone wolf' style player. These once-a-year rowdy zoos are not his thing. Has no bearing on his overall place in the history of pool. Please.

The Mosconi Cup is the biggest event on the pool calendar.

It attracts the biggest audience and viewership.

'choking at the ProBowl' is a great way to look at it. I think the MC is more competition that the PB but its still a one-off, once/yr rowdy zoo.

I actually think this was our best performance in years. SVB is going to SVB at the Mosconi. Woodward played really well. He just had zero margin for error. Tyler was solid. Gorst may have finally figured it out at the end. So he should play better next year. I didn't watch Billy that closely so not sure about his performance.

There's actually some small room for hope. If we could just get just a couple juniors to rise up we'd be in sort of okay-ish shape.

you just don't get it. how many events are filled with drunk over the top crowds? it makes for a fun show but to compare it to real majors is ludicrous.

 

[BasementDweller]

None of our players jumped off the screen as having horrible technique like we've all seen in the past. So there's that too.

 

[mrshifty]

You may have mentioned this before
I was saying that Marcel didn’t get a chance to speak.
I’m glad that together ,we cleared this up.

Marcel didn't have to speak. His backing away from the table said he wasn't calling a foul.

The Mosconi Cup is hardly pool's Super Bowl.

It was a lot better than last year, that is for sure.
