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

After another dogged rack I’m officially rooting for Europe. I hope they shut us out and they throw the Americans out of it. We are absolutely inferior on the world stage and it’s not close.
 
I haven't watched one of these in at least 8-10 yrs. Boredom and bad weather got me here. Man we are really lame
 
I'm starting to like Shaw. He's a colossal jackoff but he knows it and just loves being the tool. Hard not to like a cat that knows exactly his spot.
I think it's a bit of an act. Like a fighter trying to promote a fight. He's actually a really nice person in real life.

Think the bit of needle has added alot to this match.
 
When you see the overhead view the knuckles of cushions seem to overhang the pockets a bit rather than being flush. I take it that's the amount they've tightened it compared to a normal table
 
Shaw is the only player I know that actually plays BETTER than his normal speed under these conditions and at this event. Besides Filler.

But who else elevates their game when it comes to MC?
I think saw elevates, filler is sort of the same. Regardless we don't have anyone to pull us out of the ditch.
 
What are the chances of Sky coming back from here?

He isn't folding, that's for sure. Sick rail first shot on a straight in 4 ball to get to the 5. And another difficult thin cut on the 6 ball all the way down the rail.

Wins the rack to make it 2-4
