Mosconi day 1 lineups announced - thoughts

Karl physically looks terrible. Red bags under his eyes. Must have been on a heater at the craps table last night.
 
Corey to break....hard break and it's dry. Europe gets the table with a long shot on the 1 ball. The 3-9 is clustered.

Beautiful shooting on the first 3 balls. This rack is solved. They should be out from here. But Karl scratches in the side.

USA has four easy balls for the win. With BIH Corey left Mike tough. Mike had to crank it up for position and missed the shot.

Europe gets out.

Double Hill.
 
I don't get why Mike didn't put the 7 in the side! Maybe I misread the angle they had. They should have had that rack easily.
 
That started when Mike left Corey almost straight on the 6. That made it difficult to get well on the 7, which Mike then missed.
 
Karl breaks the 6 ball down and leaves a shot on the 1. 5-9 balls are clustered but makeable.

Nick loses the CB and almost hooked Karl. Karl slips the CB by, makes the shot and gets perfect on the 5 ball.

Great come back by Europe.

Europe wins. Team score is now 1-1.
 
nice to see that the two Europeans doing the most talking, Boyes and Appleton, have been dogging their brains out.

I'm pretty sure that Corey chose to shot the 1 rail position instead of going 2 rail, and he hit it badly.

Mike just flat-out choked on that 7, cueing across the ball, that's sick :angry:. It's a about as good as they could get the momentum going, too bad they did not realize that chance.
 
Niels breaks first against Justin in singles

1 ball down but hooked on the 2.

Push shot passed back. Niels jumps and slops the 2 in the side.

Niels hits a solid safe on the 5 ball. Justin makes a good hit but Niels runs out anyway.

1-0 Niels
 
Justin breaks the 1 ball down and has an opening shot. From the 4 to the 5 looks real mean.

He just hit a fabulous position on the 5. Corey - like imagination.

Three easy balls left and Justin missed the 7 ball.

2-0 Niels
 
1 and 2 balls go in for Niels. opening shot is good and an open table in front of him.

Niels runs out.

3-0
 
3 and 4 balls fall for Justin with an easy shot on the 1 ball and very easy table.

Justin is out. B&R

3-1
