Unbelievable. Thanks to Chevy Bob and all the rest here for the updates.
I was able to check in and heard the soccer style full on singing going with lyrics for Jayson Shaw.
I'll bet it was silent when Skyler won the match.
 
think its not too early to congratulate team USA for a outstanding performance and the most likely win now! great for the cup!
and dear marcus chamat, if you ever read that, please NEVER EVER give jayon shaw a wild card again, hes embarrassing!
 
If you go back to that interview/show I posted, even one of the commentators was talking how he thought this might be the USA year. IDK

Team USA is playing better than I've ever seen before though.

I wondered how much of a show in that last match when he dogged the shot on the corner. Hmmm....

It's possible to have a reverse effect of home crowd advantage with the singing and chanting...Shaw was too pumped up when I checked in and he missed that 3 ball in the first rack giving sky ball in hand.
What I have been impressed with so far is the USA team lack of emotional outbursts and full of composure mostly while playing.
I think in years past, playing to the crowd took some players out of focus. Probably was the case here with Jayson (at least from what I saw in that first rack)
 
USA wins the lag

Billy wires the corner ball. Tough Cut shot on.

SVB shoots a 2 way and misses the shot...safe.

Thorpe kicks a fantastic one ball but gets hooked on the 2.Shane leaves the table wide open

Europe runs out

1-0

People have been saying that every year might be the year the US turns it around.

For whatever reason, Europe has underperformed so far and the US has been playing well.

Kaci looks a little overwhelmed, Kazakis hasn't exactly been a rock, and Feijen is shaky. Shaw is his usual self while Ouschan is doing well.

We should also remember that if Styer were barfing all over himself then the match standings would look a lot different right now.

Dry break

My stream is freezing SVB scratched but I have no idea how.

Got to restart. Sorry

He went for a shot on the 1 ball down the rail and got sloppy with how the cue ball came off. Barring disaster it's going to be 2-0 Europe shortly.
 
Shane scratches on the break. He lost control of the CB.

Safety battle on the 2 ball. It was clustered.

Billy missed the 2 ball kick.

BIH

Europe runs out

3-0 Europe
 
Albin breaks well.

5-7-9 might be a trouble cluster

It was. Albin played the billiard on the 7 ball but hooked the 5 behind the 9 ball.

Shane misses the easy 5 ball.

Mosconi jinx is back for him.

Kaz leaves short on the 9 ball.

Albin makes it.

4-0 Europe
 
When I saw the match ups today I didn’t like having svb sitting all day and then playing guys that have been on the table all day. That’s just silly. If your playing him 1 time then play him early.
 
JJ is the key here

Gotta be glad that JJ was included as VC, boys playing better this year.
