Well. if you feel the Europeans have an 87% chance of winning each of the matches from here on, then they are 50-50 to win the Cup.

It is funny but the way the matches all play out the Euro's don't look dead yet. Archer is a favorite against Hohmann IMO but if he loses then Ralf gets to play Shane again and the Euro's have to like that match, then Oscar is playing with a fairly close and all the pressure that comes along with it score against Appleton who has been shooting pretty well. The it is Immonen vs Corey on the hill and that is anyone's tournament.

Basically if I am a Euro fan I am thinking this match against Archer is the critical one and if you win it then you are actually in a decent spot with a good chance to make this 10-10 with Immonen playing on the hill for the win.

Proper pronunciation of Neils' last name

Niels was FeijenT of HEART and Dennis has put the us on the hill. 10-6.

Don:

Nice word-play, but just FYI, I'm pretty sure his last name is pronounced "Fie-hen" (long "i" sound like in the word "eye"). Reason I say this, is that my last name is "Leinen" (I'm of German heritage on my father's side), and my name is pronounced in the same manner -- "Lie-nen."

Neils' last name is probably the most mispronounced non-Filipino name in pool, IMHO.

Regardless though, the proper name to have on everyone's lips right now is H-A-T-C-H!

Dennis is gonna have trouble finding games after this.

HaHa! Three people have played Dennis in ten years.

Dennis is playing amazing. I was of the same mindset as Vette earlier that Hatch should have come on more after being voted in, but it appears he was too busy preparing to kick a**.

Dennis a definite for MVP and I hope he comes back on here after winning.

Thats an awesome idea. Keep it a two team tournament and have them basically have the winner defending the cup against the other geographical area each 6 months.

What are you talking about, it was open voting and when it looked like Rodney was going to get in a ton of people in Europe went "Who the hell is Dennis Hatch?, lets vote him in!!! Muahahahha!!!".

Forgot to say thanks. ;)
