Mosconi Cup Unpicked Players Bail Out

All eight contenders for the five USA Team spot together with M.Wilson and A.Pishad
With just six weeks to go until the 21st annual PartyPoker Mosconi Cup breaks off at the Tower Circus in Blackpool, Team USA skipper Mark Wilson has named his five players to take on the huge task of winning back pool’s most prestigious team trophy.
*
Having assembled a squad of eight players at the start of the year, Wilson has now reduced that to the five players who will do battle against their European counterparts. They are:
*
Corey Deuel (7 Mosconi Cup appearances)
Shane Van Boening (6 Mosconi Cup appearances)
John Schmidt (1 Mosconi Cup appearance)
Justin Hall (debut)
Justin Bergman (debut)
*
In order to maximise their chances of glory, Wilson will be bringing the whole squad to Blackpool with the three non-playing members filling very specific roles as he leaves no stone unturned.
*
Jeremy Sossei is tasked as Offensive Coordinator in the build up and during the event while Oscar Dominguez fulfils the role of Defensive Coach. The eighth member of the squad Brandon Shuff has a technical role as Special Shots Instructor.
*
Commented Mark Wilson, “Despite having to name the five playing members we are still eight strong and are a family pushing for the ultimate goal. I sincerely could have drawn the names at random and been well pleased, proud, and willing to put it all on the line.*
*
“These guys have all unilaterally improved both on and off the table and represent the sport into the new era.
*
“Today we are beginning the final stages of preparation with even more urgency and intensity. The guys have all contributed and sacrificed for the entire year and I sincerely appreciate all of their collective efforts now and moving forward. The team and staff are excited and prepared for the ultimate challenge of Mosconi Cup XXI.”
*

In addition to the eight players and Captain Mark Wilson, Don Wardell MD assists as Vice-Captain while retired Navy SEAL Lt. Commander Amir Pishdad is added to the team as Vice-Captain.

...and when you read this partially ridiculous press release, did you really believed in the supporting roles presented? (The press release was OK until I read the BS about Jeremy, Oscar and Brandon).
 
Challenge

Prove you are only arguing your point based on feeling and "your" opinion and hold no hard feeling to the person that voiced "their" opinion just as you have and leave this thread alone, at least for today.

everyone who does gets the 7 for life

P.S.
Happy Thanks Giving guys and dolls

Well he ripped and he roared then spit on the floor...
Wiped his butt on the knob of the door.
Then the moon it lit and he had a fit.
Then he brushed his teeth in Jaybird shit...

Lots of that in this thread.

Next time around get some contracts signed and advance the players some money.

I first read the release a while back, and the only part of the release that stuck out was the mention of the 3 young men playing roles of non-playing coaches..

In order to maximise their chances of glory, Wilson will be bringing the whole squad to Blackpool with the three non-playing members filling very specific roles as he leaves no stone unturned.

Lets face it not making the team when your that close is disappointing enough, but to give the 3 players B.S. roles to justify their presence must of been embarrassing to those 3 young men..

I'm not saying this is the reason these men aren't attending the MC, but M.Wilson should of used his words more wisely, and did a better job of making the 5 playing members of the team the focal point of the release..
 
Let's just wish the 5 Man Team GOOD LUCK and PLAY WELL

The players are the ones that dedicated time and money, and were ask to spend another $1500.(app.) for flights to London.

I'm pretty sure these player's names have been cleared by now and it's known that there's certainly no hard feelings (with anyone that matters anyway;)).

Let's just wish the 5 Man Team GOOD LUCK and PLAY WELL, the game will be their teachers, just make all those tiny balls in those monstrous pockets. ;)


How much time and money did Mark Wilson invest in the three players that quit ?
 
Some wish to build up, others desire to tear down.

I've seen good threads go bad, and bad threads go good....it depends on the intent of the poster. Some wish to build up, others desire to tear down.....and such is life. --- 'The Game is the Teacher'


Yet still better than your league thread, LOL. :wink::wink:
 
I've no memory or record of you sending a PM, I've received 1000's

I've no memory or record of you sending a PM to me, if so please post it and prove you're being honest. If you didn't notice you're an anonymous poster, the only reason I know you didn't get a negative response from me is because I've not written a negative response on az (and I've written 1000+ in the last year, it's documented)...... it's easier to live positively, no big mystery why.

I suggest you read the following quote, it may change your life in an enhancing way:

"Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to cut all sources of retreat. Only by doing so can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win -- essential to success." - Napoleon Hill

When you get my age you make sure to be honest and positive, then you don't have to use your memory unnecessarily. To be truly focused one must utilize all the "mental horsepower" then can muster......in my case I have no personal choice in the matter.

Be that as it may, there's still room for "miss" interpretation, everyone misses once in a while, there's no, itsfroze, shame in that for you.

Yea your so positive.
I sent you a PM one time of something I wrote (pool related)
and your response couldn't have been more negative with
you not even commenting on what was written.

Mr. Positive, LOL That's a joke right !
Thanks though for now your opinion means
nothing to me.
 
your lessons are spreading liek wildfire

That pic he definitely used "a torch of inside"!

Yes, that's true in "other" sports, but this is pool, and if anyone bad mouths "the powers that be" they usually get barred, blackballed or excommunicated.

There was talk about burning outspoken pool players at the stake, I'm pretty sure that never got passed.....wait a minute, someone's at the door.....guess I spoke too soon. ;)

I can read "the love" between the lines and appreciate your kindest intentions.

You seem like such a positive young man, it's incredible that anyone would take what you say out of context, or interpret it to be negative. I can read "the love" between the lines and appreciate your kindest intentions.

The reason I don't send out negative responses is not because I think I'm important, it's because it's better for the game, and frankly just easier. I've sent out thousands of PM responses on AZ and none of them have been negative. My goal on AZ is simple - HELP people with their pool games and enable them to find more enjoyment playing.


Once again you think you are so important that even when you send me a completely negative response, to a mere request for your opinion (because at one time your opinion actually meant something to me) that I would save it. I don't save any messages by the way especially a negative one like you sent.

My name is Hal Hughes and I live in upstate NY, "because I've not written a negative response on az" it was in a PM and your a liar if you say you've never sent a negative response.

There I'm not anonymous anymore so you and anyone else who wants to use that anonymous cr*p to skirt the real point, can save it.

P.S. You think I just picked your name out of the AZ members list and posted my post toward you for no reason. That would be about as true as you saying you never sent a negative PM to me.
 
"The Torch of Inside" can give you a "hot stick,"

That's funny.....and a word to the wise

"The Torch of Inside" can give you a "hot stick," but leaves burn marks on the table.....you may not be popular using this shot in a public room, better practice it at home. ;)
