Mosconi updates

I appreciate these updates

I haven't read every post, but what is the reference to a legal break in these matches. Has the break changed?

GO USA
 
Game 3.

Rodney will break. Earl has a half wayu decent shot on the two in the side. He makes it an dleaves a makeable shot in the corner for the three. Rodney barely makes the three cheating the pocket for shape on the four. Earl makes a perfect shot on the five and Earl is stuck shooting a combo down the rail. The seven rattles and leaves all of the balls open for Europe. It looks like Europe will run it out to take the lead. They run it out to take the lead 2-1.
 
the odds.

GO USA


The odds makers in Las Vegas originally had the odds that the USA would win at 11-4 after yesterdays spanking of the Euros, they raised the odds to 20-1. I had made the comment that with those odds maybe team USA bet on themselves and are throwing it, atleast for today.
 
game 4.

Daryl breaks and makes a legal break but the seven gets in the way of the two.
HE plays a soft shot on the two and leaves it open.

Earl leaves it extremely safe. They might hit it but it is possible to scratch if they go at it that way. They elected to jump.

They hit it with the jump cue and leave a slight window.

Rodney plays safe an it is jam up. USA gets BIH but the four ball rolls into the worst possible place. USA is not getting any rolls at all.

Earl manages to breakout the three four and gets the safe. Europe fouls again and USA gets BIH again. They may be able to run out if Earl can get the right shape. Earl fires in the nine to tie the score 2-2.
 
Game 5.

USA breaks perfectly and it looks like they might get out.

USA gets a bad roll twice in a row and are locked out on the five.

Earl barely misses the scratch but leaves the five open for a shot in the side.

Ralf makes the five in the side and gets good shape on the six. it now looks like Europe will win the game to take the lead again. Ralf over draws the shot on the seven and leaves a difficult shot on the eight. Daryl almost missed the shot but Europe takes it off to lead 3-2.
 
Game 6.

Ralf breaks and is forced to pushout. They take about five minutes againb thinking about how to shoot this. Last time they did that They lost tthe game. They telected to leave a jump shot but they also left a short rail kick with the two nine combo available. Rodney made the one and Earl plays a safe that is hit by Ralf but ralf leaves an open two in the side.

Rodney makes the two in the side, Earl makes the three and barely avoids getting behind the nine. Rodney is forced to double kiss the CB off the nine and ends up hard on the five. Earl makes a beuatifullong shot on the five and they run it out to tie it 3-3. This is starting to look like the earl of old again.

Game 7.

Good break bu tno shot on the two by Rodney. Earl plays a safe and hits it bad leaving the two open. Earl probably needs to start getting mad again because he sucks when he's calm. Ralf makes a good safe but leaves a jump shot on the two viable with the two right in front of the side.Rodney gets the two in the side and gets a horrible roll after breaking out the four leaving them hooked behind the nine. Earl hits the ball and leaves a medium difficulty shot on the three for Europe.

Ralf barely makes the three ball in the corner. The shape on the five by Daryl leaves a little to be desired but they should be alright. If they make the six they should be alright. Daryl keeps hitting them a littlle off and needing to play the pocket to make the shots. They come out alright and it looks like Europe will take the lead again 4-3.and they do.
 
Game 8.

Great break but two ball is hidden. behind a third of the nine. Another lengthy discussion after the break.

They pushout and USA gives it back. Ralf jumps the nine and knocks the cB off the table. USA runsout to tie it 4-4/
 
Earl breaks.

Earl breaks good and leaves the two barely able to get by the six. Rodney misses the two and now the two is straight in to the corner.
Europe makes the two in the corner and ralf has to play the three and plays it badly but it goes.
I can't believe the rolls Europe is getting.

It lok slike Europe will be the first ones to get on the hill. They do and they are up 5-4.
 
Game 10.

Europe is breaking form the hill. They break illegally and USA is forced to pushout.

USA pushes out leaving a kick to hit the two but no direct hit available.

Daryl misses the shot barely on the kick from the two into the corner.

Earl hits the two perfectly to carom off the nine for the three in the side. Rodney shoots the 7-8 combo and makes it. USA gets the shot and the game for the hill hill game with USA breaking.
 
Hill-hill game last game of the day.

Rodney breaks and they get a shot open after the break. Earl shoots a medium difficulty shot on the one with perfect shape. Earl gets on the wrong side of the four so Rodney has to shoot it up table first. Rodney plays it perfectly and Earl shoots the five with great shape on the six. Earl shoots in the nine to tie it up and win the match Europe and USA are even now at 5-5.
