Mosconi Day 4 Matches in Progress Coverage

Daz just made an amazing shot on the 2 ball. This might be over...

Appleton delivers. 5 - 2. I feel bad for Shane.

It's not Daz. Shane has played this way in every Mosconi Cup. I said on day one that Shane must leash the Chihuahua because of his history in this event. He needs to find a way to bring his emotions down.

Make no mistake, I am a Shane fan but I call it like I see it.

Shane isnt playing great by any means. But Daz has played an absolutely perfect set. He has not missed one ball the entire time.

Good shooting by Daz. He made a tricky table look easy.

Appleton breaks wet and cuts the two into half a pocket. Wow! The finish line is now in sight. Darren runs out.

Darren 5 Shane 2

Europe 10 USA 5

Yes. The only thing in the set that could be considered wrong by Daz is when he left the long one ball cut after the safety attempt. Even that would be an extreme stretch to call it a mistake.

Here are the updated stats through Match 15 for Team USA:

Shane tried to play safe on a 3 ball that went in. Left himself jacked up on the 4 and missed hitting it. Next break Daz breaks dry and is safe. Pretty unfortunate for SVB.

Play loose Shane. Let that beautiful stroke out.

 

[Kim Bye]

Perfect lag from Nikos.

Amen to that. I hate listening to Jerry Forsyth. He sounds like he's way more excited when team Europe does well than when USA does well. I think he and Darren should get a room.The English commentator sounds less bias than Jerry.

I agree the commentary they have is absolutely horrible. The american guy that is in the booth right now has been awful the whole tournament. I wish they could put Jim Wych in the booth for every match. He is the best they have.

Yea, that 3 falling doomed shane. If that 3 stays up, who knows what could happen. The 8 was on the bottom rail partially blocking the kick and the 4 was at the exact opposite end of the table

Shane gave ball in hand to Darren 3 times... You can't win in a race to 5 if you do that vs someone like Daz.

Pretty pathetic showing by Shane.

Europe wins yet another lag.

 

[sjm]

It will take six in a row now for Team USA. Still, Shane will now play Nikos, who he has always owned. I'm guessing it won't end with this match. Their in the arena now.

I believe one of the commentator's is AzB's own Jerry Forsyth

Isn't it Jerry Forsyth the owner of this forum?

And he's been absolutely blind to almost everything he calls. And who the hell keeps confusing the 4 and 5 ball? There is no excuse for this horrendous commentating, but I'm sure someone will be along soon to issue an apology. People wonder why pool has no sponsors, one need to look no further than the commentators. 2014 has been the worst year yet for pool knowledge via commentary.
