It's always been between Team USA vs Team EUROPE. Why not include TEAM CANADA, AUSTRALIA, TAIWAN, or PHILIPPINES? or TEAM ASIA? That way, MOSCONI Cup can be labeled as a battle between the BEST of the BEST. What do you think?:rolleyes:
 
border battle

We (canada) do have a mosconi-ish "border battle" vs US every year.
We lose every year, just like Europe;) . But with Alex playing for Canada, and Salvas, John Horsfall, Alain Martel, Eric Hjorliefson, at least we're have a chance. US sends top players such as Archer, JJ, morris, earl, corey, etc.
Canada.

Since US always beats Canada and usually beats Europe, US vs. Phil would be interesting matchup. Or how about winner of mosconi vs. winner of Phil vs Taiwan.

How many times does this dumb question have to be asked before people actually get the answer into their heads?!?!?!

The Mosconi Cup is described as 9-Ball's version of golf's Ryder Cup - a contest purely between Europe and the USA. That is why the Mosconi Cup does not involve anyone else other than teams from Europe and America.

I would love to see a tournament along the lines of, I believe, golf's "President's Cup", which is a USA vs The Rest Of The World tournament, but possibly with one wee change - Asia vs The Rest Of The World. What do you all think, and who would you have in your hypothetical teams?
