Barry Hearn is in attendance today.

if we're talking about making it more even, rather than giving America extra players, maybe Europe should have to pick Hearn and or Goldstein

Agree 100%. The success of MR/WNT/MC is not riding on how easy it is to find stream schedules. I've known since i was about ten what the time difference is to the UK. Maybe i'm just a friggin genius. No, that definitely ain't it.

It’s because you have a Patek Philippe world timer just to show up Cocobolo Cowboy. You glance at the hunk of platinum on your wrist and laugh at people who don’t know the time in Geneve. Or you can look at the world time function that is in your cell phone.

Europe to win 11-1 , 11-2 becoming popular bets. Europe 11-1 was 81 yesterday now only 19.
Though no one touching Europe to win 11-0 at 251 ($250 profit for $1 bet) yet cos no team has ever lost 11-0

I figure it's going to end up 11-4 or 11-5 Europe.

Perhaps it's my mental state after the beatdown and massively bad misses...but this match up looks real tough...

 

[uk_9_ball_convert]

Maybe would have been more appropriate for Europe to enter with a song with the lyrics "we're half way there" than America

I think the only thing that takes this dog thru Saturday would be midget stripper wrestling between matches.

The clock runs both ways +8hrs and -8hrs GMT

I'm not sure what your point is.

I was in London couple of years ago and it was a 6 hour time difference from St. Louis -- it's enough to throw you off some. I believe there is no time difference between London and Scotland and it's one of the reasons the Europeans chose to practice there.

Going east is the harder of the two. They got there early enough for this not to be an excuse.

I quite like the only playing one frame means you only really go for it when you are sure. Makes the tactical battle at the start of a frame interesting.

Styer looks really nervous and he's not even playing yet. Actually feel sorry for him. Obviously not the same level, but I've had a county championship where I played terrible and it's full of drunk people shouting abuse and you feel like you're letting your team mates down. It's not nice

I've seen Tyler play really hi-gear pool. IMO this is all self-inflicted stress, he is doggin his brains out so far.

One of my pool buddies would pay triple for that.

 

[puma122]

Run it Tyler. Shut us (me included) up.

Indeed.

WTF??????? Bergman is not part of the story. Get this thru your thick dome. As for Rusinik he was replaced with JJ by Matchroom. That's their call. He had a three year deal and MR didn't re-new it. No level of coaching would stop the puking dog play of yesterday.

What? Bergman is not on the Muskogee Cup team? There is no justice.

lol

 

[jeephawk]

Whoo!

 

[puma122]

Thank you Tyler. Was a tough run given yesterday I imagine

 

[jeephawk]

One of my pool buddies would pay triple for that.

And magically some could figure out how to watch that in about 10 seconds.

 

[uk_9_ball_convert]

fair play to Tyler. Takes a lot of mental fortitude to come back from such a horrendous day yesterday to come back and win your first frame today.

 

[jbart65]

Billy was playing smart, but the banker made too big of a gamble. He should have played safe.

Time and again, the U.S. takes chances it shouldn't. Done 4-0, not the time to try a bank. Even if Thorpe made it, position on the next ball was not guaranteed.
