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

[SBC]

You make the 8 and get exactly where you settled to be.....and dog it.

Wow Filler is a beast, he's literally asking the crowd to scream more while he's shooting. And team USA all smile in awe of the arrogance and confidence.

 

[smoochie]

the non pool player era?

non pool era? what is that

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

This is probably the least amount of actual pressure he has faced in years. He’s not even the face of the team anymore and the “choke artist” label is firmly attached to Styer. So Shane can finally just play his normal game for once.

Mosconi is organised by Matchroom. Early Mosconi's were in London every year. Nobody really knew what 9 ball was in the UK back then so Matchroom(who also promote snooker) packed the European team full of snooker players that would be a draw to British people, but had no experience of actually playing the game. Most of them didn't take it very seriously though Steve Davis seemed to really fall in love with the game. Actually remember Ronnie O'Sullivan beating Earl one year despite having hardly played the game.

I imagine this is what Matchroom puts on the screen every time Tyler is down on the 9.

SO now the crowd is not being quieted for any shots the Americans take?

I haven't been watching yet today. Can't believe what I'm reading about Tyler's match though. This poor guy needs to take two weeks off and then quit!

Jayson doing a little too much talking, while Skyler is taking his shot.

It's gonna take a while to get over this for sure

This is the funniest thing I've read all week! Thank you sir

Mr "Practice makes Perfect" Woodward, missing three balls instead of nine balls. Sigh.

 

[SBC]

This one's for you, my friend.

I refuse. Show some class.

Safe to say, Sky has no good Mosconi rep anymore. He’s just a mediocre Mosconi player who doesn’t like to practice. It shows.

1) has there been any 9 ball break?

2) there has been a shot where the cue ball dropped dead after bouncing on the rail. Day 2 I think. Anyone recall the shot? The cue ball jumped on the rail and efffectively dropped dead next to it. Never seen it before.

 

[jbart65]

Safety and push out play have been huge weaknesses for Team USA. Execution especially.

 

[Kris_b1104]

Come on Labubu, please dump for us

You have the least amount of table time
