What's the current score?

I stepped away for a few minutes, and the screen is still showing 0-1 Europe.

I know Archer is trying to "pump up" his teammate...but is he coaching too much? These guys are world class and he is telling him how to shoot a basic shot. Just seems like it would annoy his partner more than help?

I completely agree with this sentiment. Not only would it be annoying but maybe even a little insulting. Putnam didn't get to play in the Mosconi Cup because of a random drawing. He got there because he's good.

USA snaps off 5 wins in a row to win 6-3. Sloppy play from Europe and Archer and Putnam capitalized at every turn. All square USA-1 Europe-1

I think the communication between Johnny and Shawn is what got that match. Shawn looked nervous at first but Johnny talking him through it really seemed to calm him down. Great stuff so far. Go USA!!!!!!

I totally agree with you Johnny really got Shawns confidence up and it showed later in the match.

In the interview Putnam brought up a good point that Putnam, as a left hander, can't play position as he would for himself because Archer is a right hander.

Did anyone catch what the other commentator said to Jim Wych about favoritism? Something like "careful Jim, [...] don't want to show any favoritism".

Morris brought the same game he had last year is whats up....PATHETIC

That was pretty bad...We better hope that one of the Euro bald guys forgets how to play as well.

Rodney's cool casual demeanor that so many seem to admire killed him in that match. Maybe a LITTLE intensity was called for?

Shane and Mike up 3-0 vs Ralf and Darren after Mike makes for on the break and they clear the table.
