The results may not be different but it allows them to showcase others players, perhaps more deserving than SVB. If there was an up and coming talent then its better to allow him to play than SVB getting the spot by default.

SVB earns the points, and it is a guaranteed $20K for him. He would be an idiot to not take his earned spot.

I’ll entertain this one more time, you have a right to your opinion, but Europe is just Better than us, and no amount of “hype men, and entertaining players“ Will change that. We need players , and taking Shane off the team decreases are chances of wining IMO

Based on Shanes performance record I don’t think removing him creates the void you think it does. If Europe is gunna win anyway, i’d at least want a more entertaining US team to watch. I think with the right team they could put up a good fight and upset some matches with or without Shane.

No they proved it’s the players who win not the most entertaining!

I don't know about that. I think that is good for normal tournaments but when it comes to events like this I expect more passion and fun. Personally I thought the Reyes Cup was somewhat of a snoozer. Even Europe looked comatose. When the crowd is singing and the ref has to scold the audience I think the tournament is at its best. And this year it is in England (if they didn't move it) so you know it is going to get wild.

I would like to make the proposal that Shave Van Boeing be banned from the Mosconi Cup. His team record playing in the Mosconi Cup is 8 wins 10 losses. I agree he is a great player just not in the Mosconi Cup. In fact I have seen him choke more times then make a great shot in the Cup. I formally propose Shane Van Choker be banned from every Mosconi Cup going forward and quit embarrassing the United States. Amen.

You and the ugly dog should be banned from AZB.

Your plan is to replace SVB with someone who is clearly inferior to him and you are expecting better results from said player? Make it make sense. Please tell me you are trolling and not really that stupid.

I'll take a new player over a guaranteed losing player every time.

As far as being stupid....you're the one backing a LOSING player.

I get it, he's "our best player" but he sucks at mosconi

You are also backing a losing player just not with the pedigree of SVB

Ok I lied, I’ll entertain this again. do you want our team to be “fun and entertaining“ or do you want to win? Our current team could wear clown mask, and juggle between games and they still aren’t beating Europe.

The title of your post is very misleading.
 
I’ll replace Shane. I have the quietest of quiet eyes in the United States.
I grew up with people sitting on the table rails with a 6 shooter on their hip.
I eat crowd noise and barking for breakfast.
I’m fun and play well with others.

One of the really nice things about the ignore feature is that any threads started by someone you have on ignore will not be visible in your thread list. So once I put Lola on ignore (in about 30 seconds from now) I won't have to see this clickbait thread anymore. 😁

The Mosconi Cup is a circus and not serious pool (who thought races to 5 was a good idea??). SVB is a deadly serious pool player, so I agree he's not a good fit. Personally, I believe he simply can't psych himself up for a race to 5 in that atmosphere...often playing with a partner no less.

I think we can throw that misconception out. The better players and team wins every year. No matter the race or format. Just another usa excuse.
