Maybe replace Morris with Parica (who is a US Citizen, now).
or Stevie Moore or Mike Davis.

Rodney is a great shot maker, but his cue ball control is not great. His pattern play is horrible in comparison to top level players. Way overrated in my book, but he is a great guy as far as a person.
I agree completely only I would replace Ortmann with Mika. That is the team that has the greatest chance to beat the US IMO.tommy84 said:Hard to tell
Hohmann for Drago
Anyway, I'd rather have USA vs Germany or at least more Germans.
Souquet, Hohmann, Ortmann, Engert and Feijen (who has played in German premier league for some time including a 150 and out in the first visit)
This years lineup is pretty good apart from Drago (one for the show, huh?) where as in the past years it was quite a bad lineup with guys like Steve Davis, Marcus Chamat, Steve Knight

Johnson said:rodney would be a slight favorite over shannon in 8, 9 and 10 ball but any other game shannon would probably be the favorite
i agree rodney morris SUCKS!!! his pattern play is so terrible that he couldn't even beat efren reyes in the finals of the biggest 8 ball tourney of all time, this efren guy is like 50 and he's legally blind, if rodney had any concept of pattern play he would of won that final for sure, cause we all know how important pattern play is in 8 ball
oh ya he also lost in the semi finals of the 2005 wpa 9 ball championship against some asian guy that doesn't look to be a day older than 12, who does this rodney guy think he is anyway???

Earl makes your team look American in attitude, agressiveness and on the edge. Thats good imo keep him

I've heard it through the grapevine that he wants to play for and represent the US in the Mosconi Cup.Celtic said:I could not agree with this more. Parica has completely adopted the USA as his home and proudly calls himself an American. He is also one of the most stable and confident players under the types of pressure that the mosconi cup puts out. Parica is not going to miss many shots or safeties in those short races and would be great in doubles play as a partner for almost anyone.
I am sure the guy would be honored to play for the USA in the Mosconi Cup, which is commendable coming from a country where our premier player who had lived here for years and learned most of his game here dropped us like a bad habit to play for the Philippines.
