I know ur always bustin balls mr. AtLarge lol so I won't take offense being I'm not the only guy ever seen being clowned on by you :) but yea I believe the captain is taking 8-10 players for his mini camp boot camp and so those are the players I'd take and see who gels best with the team environment and who actually wants it. The dilemma is do you go with the old guard whose been there n done that or do you try the young guns. I believe yo go with a mixture with the scale leaning towards young guns because we need to season them for future teams and that's what a true coach should be thinking about on top of trying to put the best team together to win this year. Either way I'd take any combination of them and be happy.

Ps. I'm AtLarge I think were sworn enemies at this point.

Exactly one member of Team USA played well in last year's Mosconi Cup, and that was Justin Bergman. In my view, it would be a big mistake to go to battle without him.

The USA Coach has decided that the US Open 9-Ball is too late (late October) to count toward Mosconi points because Johan wants to select and begin training Team USA well before October.

I hope he will rethink this strategy for next year's Mosconi Cup.

On the other hand, the US Open 9-Ball will count for Mosconi points for Team Europe.
Go figure.
 
I agree with ya hang-the-9. Earl is solid 99.99% every time. Plus, I'm going to the Mosconi Cup and would love to see him.

Earl should be on every Mosconi Cup team till he can no longer play, same thing for Ralf for the Euro side.

I'd like to see a HORSE type match added for points where the players setup shots to shoot and see if the other player can match it instead of just a straight out race to 5 or whatever they do next time. And get rid of the jump cues.
