Mosconi Cup Updates

Ralf shot that combination because it's much easier to go from the 4 ball to the 6 ball then to go from the 4 to the 5 to the 6.
 
Jay asked a question to why Ralf shot the 2-5 combo, it was because its easier to go to the 6 from the 4 instead of going to the 4 then to the 5 which was on the end rail and then the 6 which was not in the best spot.
 
5-2 Europe with Melling breaking.

Illegal break...

Not a good layout, USA gave it back to Europe. Ralf is sizing it up... and pushes out to a not so great spot...

SVB has a long shot on the ace... and dogs it...
 
Europe stayed hungry..

Souquet/Melling - 6-2

USA: 4
EUR: 6

Oustanding Day 2. Hopefully we'll see a solid battle all the way to the end.

Mebbe I dunno my history as well as I thought, but I could have sworn that the war in Europe ended before the war in the Pacific?

Also, I thought that America provided the majority of the ground troops who entered Germany and forced the surrender of the Nazis..

I believe you are right. I went with a girl whose father strung wire across
France in the signal corps. When the war ended in Europe, he and some
friends volunteered for the Pacific 'cause they hadn't fought yet.
They were sent back to Canada for retraining but the war ended.....
...so they got home long before the rest of their company.

pt..<..still likes Rodney against any two of them:)
 
Mosconi Cup is pool, nothing else. If we are looking for a combination of boxing/ street fighting or any other individual contact sport combined with pool. No one of the 10 great pool players we have in this cup, should participate.

Anyway not impressed by what RM did during their double match. Sportmanship is important to raise this sport to the level where it belongs.
