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

I looked up some stats, and for my surprise the Calibar of Fedor his stats in the Mosconi is very very bad....then I looked at Earl the Pearl Strickland stats when he was young, dare I say it...Earl had a very very high win ratio in Mosconi it was ridiculous.

the non pool player era?

I always really enjoy the team match. Feel quite often you get interesting tactical frames when a player doesn't get a good break, as they don't want to take any risks when it's only 1 frame

yeah I was thinking the same thing. He was up against snooker players who literally only played 9 ball for 4 days a year.

 

[hlymnstr14]

A nice jump-kick by Billy to pocket the 1.

hiii-ya motherfuckers

 

[jax_joe]

Any sighting yet of a released 2026 calendar?

no, he continued to play jam up when playing against the pool players in the 00's. him and rodney was a super pair

Shane finally won a lag!

 

[uk_9_ball_convert]

As a European I hope Tyler wins his frame. Would hate from him to have another big miss

 

[Tooler]

I don’t recall anyone ever having to shoot a hill-hill 9 ball with the crowd like that.

That's because it's never happened. Not like that shit show... The Ref's to blame there.

 

[Kris_b1104]

Guys, imagine this match goes hill-hill and Tyler is at the table facing a tough 9 ball. My arm would be shaking like crazy.

 

[Badpenguin]

Meanwhile, in bizarro world, SVB is playing flawless at the Mosconi Cup.

 

[Kris_b1104]

If Shane gets going this match and they happen to win, it could bode very well for his next match against Alcaide since he's warmed up and feeling good. He can make it 7-4.

Tyler being exchanged for another Russian player.

Good attempt and a valiant effort.

 

[JolietJames]

It's a strange feeling when Gorst gets ball in hand with an open rack and I am skeptical he will get out.
That 6 ball would not fall on my table.

He has to make that 9 ball, no matter what. And Tyler would agree that the crowd can’t be an excuse. But that was pathetic from the crowd. It was a great match that went hill-hill. They have to have more respect for a competitor than that.

 

[Kris_b1104]

Let's see if they scream while Fedor is down on the 9.

I think it was the most competitive match we've seen in the past 3 days. And the only match where USA got to the hill (obviously not counting the 2 points they currently have)

They only other time USA got to the hill was during the team match yesterday, where Tyler dogged the 9.

They keep getting beat 5-1, 5-2, 5-3.

Interestingly enough, we have yet to see a whitewash 5-0 match this year. I predict SVB will whitewash Alcaide. Just a feeling.

sick kick safe from filler

Tyler being thrown to the wolf. Team USA punting against Filler and maximizing their chances in the other matchups.
