Mosconi Cup 2025, Dec. 3-6, Alexandra Palace, London

We could save a bunch of time if the admins bumped last year's thread and changed the date in the title.

If it weren't for Shaw's antics. Would anyone bother watching anymore..? Can everyone else also envision the Mosconi without Shaw these days.? It would be a bunch of emotionless Euro robots vs the already disheartened and downtrodden US squad. Even the walk outs after each rack look scripted when Shaw isn't involved.

Oh, an idea... A best of 3 round robin of beer pong before each match up.

When our team can show up with the same chemistry as Europe then we will win. Until then I just dont think it will happen. Next year they need to do something beforehand to create a different dynamic. Europe is talking a lot more, hyping eachother up, being more supportive mean while our team is pouting and hardly talking or smiling. Hopefully they went out for beers last night and blew off a little steam.

Of course, chemistry and mental attitude are important
But numbers don’t lie
The difference in average Fargo is showing that the Fargo system is reasonably accurate in predicting results
The euros just are better than us
In all sports, there are upsets here and there where the numbers don’t work out as predicted
But given enough matches, the cream comes to the top

Does Helfert even watch pool anymore? I’ll bet we have Mosconi cup soon. It’s coming.

Ghorst
Evans
Verner
Henderson

No Wolford??? I have no clue who Evans so i'd put Shane Wolford and Lukas on for sure. Regardless we're still gonna be the dog for the foreseeable future.

Team USA can't afford to drop more than 1 game in today's session.

The session needs to be 4-1 or 5-1, depending on how many games they play.
