No Hohmann and Ortmann on the Euro team? They have no chance to win because of that IMO
Souquet, Hohmann, Ortmann, Engert, Feijen, Foldes.
That would IMO be the strongest possible euro lineup. But they'd still lose I'm afraid. US players are simply better at short races with alternate break. Especially at league/team play such as Mosconi cup. They simply deal better with that kind of pressure. That has been proven many times.
To give EU team a chance, US should include more colorful players, such as Sigel or McCready. Score would be much closer, and I cannot even imagine the athmosphere...
Having said that, I hope Europe wins.
