Mosconi Cup Updates

Would be nice if they changed the format a little....like race to 7 & win by 2...That would give players a little chance to fade bad rolls or nerves..short races alt breaks can be brutal !

It was over before it even started. Sad to see the US not be able to put up their best players, but that's how it goes. Hats off to the Europeans. They cashed in on all the mistakes made by the American team, and there were plenty to cash in on! Didn't much care for Charlie's selection as a coach and he proved me right by not putting the right player's out or the right combination.

Hopefully next year's will be a lot better! It can't be much worse! I will say this, the atmosphere and event is much better when it's at the York Hall in Bethnal Green. I miss living in England and being able to see it there. And yes, I am an American!

I totally agree. Hard not to like JA and SVB has been proven worthy. Other than that you got a rookie, after that I do not care for Putman and RM gets caught speeding alot. Then through in a Captain from hell and you got disaster !

These 5 guys ARE the best players for the USA. They have earned the right to be on the team.

Win some, lose some. The odds are against them, but they are still in it.

Just take one at a time...Short races, anything can happen.

I agree with you that they earned their way onto the team, but I still stand by my point that they are NOT the best team that the US could put together. If there was no point system and you could just put any 5 players on the US team, are you telling me that these would be the players you chose? I would like to think not.

You are 100% correct about the short races and taking it one at a time. Unfortunately, the European's are not in the mood for sharing!
