The difference between Efren and AZ

[ineedaspot]

When Efren wins, he says "I got lucky"

When the US or Shane loses, AZ says "the other guy got lucky"
Or "the races are too short"
Or "the table was too fast/easy"
Or "the crowd was too noisy"
Or "alternate breaks"
Or...

Here's Efren's perfect 3-second summary of what happened at Mosconi cup.

I love it!!! And the fact that he's basically telling Earl to put a sock in it makes it even sweeter.

 

[King T]

Perfect!!!!!

It doesn't get any better..., and Efren laughing as he walks away, that's magical!!!

I don't look at those things listed as excuses. But, I look at them as contributing factors ... in other sports it's temperature, crowd, wind. etc. The key message here is that champions will find a way to win under all factors. The Euros were simply better at dealing with those factors.
