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

Stick a fork in 'em. (Yes, was true after day one, but I hold out hope longer than most.)

You think Filler or Shaw would have missed that shot Styer had just because some US fans were barking? LOL.

Shane has hearing aides off for sure....doesn't hear anything.

 

[SBC]

What image is that?

Not young
Not pretty
Gambler

The man can flat out play and doesn't miss because of pressure.

 

[BlueRaider]

Come on Labubu, please dump for us

You have the least amount of table time

Labubu is a pretty weak nickname but it’s still better than when Corey Deuel referred to him as “Pee Juice”

He's ugly I'll give you that, but I don't think that has anything to do with it. Alcaide and SVB aren't young. SVB has probably gambled more than all players combined that are there.

I do think he would do well in this environment.

non pool era? what is that

They were playing Snooker and English 8 ball players, most had never even seen an American table

did you forget a couple of qualities there? like that he would be incompatible with 1) the team and 2) the shot clock

 

[DaWizard]

it was a jump by billy and JJ explained it

Recall which game? Just want to see it again. Never saw such perfect balancing out the spin vs rail induced spin

Lol I forgot he plays really slow. I was going by the amount of times he's always in action.

 

[SBC]

I refuse. Show some class.

Like you got any?

If i wasn't 56 I'd make it my goddam self.

 

[PoolBum]

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

I wouldn't object to their execution at this point.

I'm shitting on players that are shitting the bed on the pool table.

What does his wife have to do with it?

Of course you're 56.

Not an ounce of fear....comes from being backed in big action. You shoot like you already won because it ain't your money when you lose.

Here you get 20k, paid travel and rooms....even for losing. So where's the pressure?

 

[J.D. Dolan]

Styer’s miss was unfortunate, but van Boening’s smirk afterward—in front of the whole crowd as well as the TV cameras—was unforgivable. I saw him do something similar in a previous Mosconi Cup.

Old I may be, but I'd run you over on a pool table.

 

[puma122]

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.

Cannot say that I fancy him as a coach either. (Questionable selection, and not covering us in glory in his interviews, and I bet not commanding major respect\effective motivational speeches to team either...)

 

[Philthepockets]

I'm assuming this will all be on Youtube as some point for posterity.....forever?

 

[smoochie]

They were playing Snooker and English 8 ball players, most had never even seen an American table

So you're saying if I put Styler, or Fedor there in that era, they'll have a good stats win-ratio?

 

[datnodude]

Am I the only one that thinks Europe may be sandbagging a little bit so this goes on a little longer?

sandbagging where lol
