We are europe

It's USA versus Europe because USA is just about the same size as Europe of course we should best any one of those countries by themselves because New York is bigger than all of England.
UK team: Appleton, Shaw and Gray are already there, add in Boyes and Melling and I'd pick them over this USA team.
New York (US) (141,299 km²) is 1.08 times as big as England (130,400 km²).

Might be my english. I thought population, because people compete and not cows.
Would have been interesting (and boring) to see new mexico compete with germany (which has a simmelar size but vastly different number of inhabitants 2:80)
Yeah yeah!! Not fair blah blah!!
There are more pool players in the USA than in Europe by a country mile. Not our fault that ya'll just aren't very good.
And please, don't comment about Brexit, unless you know the difference between the EU and Europe.
OK, I am off to pick my nose

There are maybe 300 9-ball players in the UK. It's hard to describe how niche of a game American pool is over here.
Exactly :wink: Also i think there are other 3 european countries that wouldnt be huge underdogs against USA alone (Netherlands, Germany, Poland)
... and yet a Team UK of Appleton, Shaw, Peach, Gray and Boyes would likely be favored over Team USA.
just some ribbing with our little big-cousins.

I'm always surprised to see Americans bring up Rodney's name in answer to question like this. I'd say he's your weakest link.
In terms of this format, Bergman is your strongest player. SVB and Woodward have strengths and weaknesses (I think Woodward gets a little overrated on here due to his age). Dechaine is too loose with his cue ball against the players in the Euro team, but still capable of winning matches through his shot making. Morris is waaay too loose with his cue ball, not up to is scratch in terms of safety, has mistakes/misses in him, and has terrible shot selection.
That's how I see it anyway. The Euros can afford one or maybe even two players having a bad week - the US team need everyone to play well to win.

Well,
England = 50,346 mi²
New York = 54,556 mi²
About your other point, you are spot on, but you can't think AZBers care about actual facts.

he started it
"we are europe... we do what we want."
not at all antagonistic, right?
is it sadder to kick a person when they're down, or to kick back at a person who's up, kicking you when you're down?
it's all in good fun.
but, for the life of me, i don't know where fans and spectators come-up with this "we" stuff.

Brexit is not about GB leaving Europe. It is about them leaving the EU. There have been non EU players in the European Mosconi cup team before. If you really want me to, I will go look them up (again).
How so?
