why are the british the best in the world?

i dont understand the claim , snooker plaayers tried pool and failed so went back to snooker quite the opposite

1/ none of the top snooker pros played pool competively unless you call davis and drago playing when they were in their 40s and out of the top 64 in snooker, but i beleive drago won the world masters and davis gave earl a few good torchings

2) the lesser snooker players who have came over and played have done quite well giving their limited time playing the game...i know appleton wasnt a snooker player neither was shaw but they both played it and knew they couldnt make the grade professionally at home so went to the pool table they both havent done bad have they? think apples has won everything there is, twice

3) the snooker players u speak well daaryl peach was ex snooker plaayer won the world 9 ball in 07
chris melling won the china open and mosconi mvp
stuart pettman who was a low snooker player came to the derby and having never played won the straight pool, and nobody would touch him gambling

so where is the claim justified? oh yes chinese 8 ball pool it was apples and selby a snoooker player in the final

selbs, roberston trump any of the top 64 wont play pool because the money is way less

Slight correction -- Pettman had the high run (117 on a 10-footer!) in the 2013 DCC 14.1 Challenge, but the tournament portion of the event was won by Max Eberle in the infamous finals match where Dennis Orcollo conceded with Max still needing quite a few balls.

I think US players would be better than British players except Americans have been too busy fighting all the Brits' wars for them since they are too neutered to do it themselves.

Historically, we win the wars we start, whereas you do not.

And for a nation too scared to finish off the japs with your fists and instead drop an atom bomb on them, it's a bit rich to claim you are any good at fighting.

And having worked with US rangers in the past, if that's your special forces, then you really don't know how to fight at all - lucky you have an endless supply of ordinance to chuck at people - to save you closing with the enemy.

Not very nice. Considering at least one conflict that would have left you speaking German if we hadn't interceded you'd think you'd be a little more gracious & appreciative.

How you win doesn't matter. We kicked the $#!+ out of Japan. I'm not aware of many losses on our part at all. Vietnam. That's about it. We sure didn't lose in the Middle East and if you think we did, you don't understand the purpose for the war. As for Rangers, they aren't even close to our best. And you guys wouldn't exist if not for the US. You'd be eating kraut and blowing Hitler. But here's the real deal Limey, WE BEAT YOU TWICE. And if you were to ever try us again it'd take less than a week to do it again. You're irrelevant, we rule the world. And that's really what this is all about isn't it? It's all just vitriolic diarrhea of the vocal organs against the US. Euros don't like us, British folks especially. You're still sore from the horse fu€k!ng we gave you 200+ years ago and the fact that without us protecting your weak @$$es now you would all be a province of Russia or someone else. Plus you'd probably starve. But I'll tell you what, if you can convince my government to just pull out of Europe and the rest of the world and let you guys eat each other, I'll be happy to support you. And be thankful I'm not the Pres, because what I'd do to your entire septic tank of a continent would make what we did to Japan look like a b!+€# slap.

Septic tank? Lol.

Anyway, just a point of order before exile gets his knickers in an even bigger twist and does himself an injury, but the british are not sore over the events in america 200 years, largely because nobody knows about it.

You are more likely to find an american with a passport than a brit who knows or cares about your history.

The ironic thing is that our former colonist is probably completely unaware that septic tank is cockney rhyming slang for yank

They have history? I thought they were pubescent teenagers of the world at best..

This is obvious by their stroppiness..

Anyway, back to the OP..

The british are the best at cu sports.

All of them.

Even the brand new until recently unheard of chinese 8 ball is being dominated by brits that popped up out of nowhere and commenced domination of that in no time at all.

Gracious and appreciative?

The USA is the most hated nation in the history of the world - you should go ponder why that is for a while before posting further.
 
Most likely it is because Brits understand that their pale and fragile bodies are unsuitable for any type of sport that requires physical exertion. Last time in the UK, I was struck by how many brits look as though they were exposed to too much radiation as infants, but my hosts informed me that this condition was simply "Britishness."

Because of this, they are forced to hire Argentines, Dutchmen, and Frenchmen to entertain them by playing their favorite sport -- thankfully the humiliation of watching Brits attempting to play football is only forced on them once every four years. But, naturally, the British male ego takes a hit from this.

So the solution is to create a sport so dull that nobody else has any interest in playing it. The first attempt was cricket, a valiant effort, but this turned out to be too athletic for the sickly Brits, who have long been dominated by international athletic powerhouses like India and Sri Lanka.

But snooker was perfect! No running, of course, but also the strange illogical rules, and of course the fact that the rest of the world already plays other cue sports, so the people who might be dominating the Brits like they do in all other fields of human endeavor will most likely just keep to themselves and let the Brits for once have some glory.


PS. I assumed the purpose of this thread was to provoke nationalist trash-talk. How did I do?

I include all cue sports, it's just snooker is the pinnacle and everyone would be playing it if they were good enough. But, as you mention it, daz is pretty much the best in the world at american pool, despite virtually no one in britain playing it. It would be akin to shane going to britain and monstering english 8 ball, and that ain't ever going to happen.

How so? It's just a cue sport with different rules.

Finally a real voice of reason in what must surly be the most ridiculous thread ever on AZB. Very well said ineedaspot!!!!
What is snooker anyways? Is it that British game played on those miniature 6' tables with 7 red balls, 7 yellow balls, and a black ball? Why are those tables so small anyway??
 
We all know why everyone hates us. They're not us, wish they were, and can't be. However, I really think this thread has an answer. The Brits are the best in the world at snooker (not other cue games) because they are genetically disposed to it due to the massive inbreeding they've engaged in for so many centuries. Ron would have figured this out if he'd asked a different question: why are British women the most ghastly of all Caucasian women in the world? However, like most Brits he's been so desensitized to the ugliness of British women (by being so elitist) that he doesn't realize that crooked teeth, uni-brows, a nose like a crow's beak, and vaginas reeking of the smell of spoiled shrimp are not attractive qualities in a woman. Ron, (and voice of reason if you are indeed a different op) we will overlook you're ignorance here. However, a quick study will reveal to you that most American women have been waxing their nether regions for decades now while British women have yet to do so to their foreheads.

You guys (or guy, I'm still thinking it's all just Thaiger) keep it up. Just remember the only reason you're able to even do this because the US has provided you with the national security you require to exist as a nation. It just eats your liver doesn't it?

You get no argument from me as far as british women go. They are nearly as fat as yours.

Not bad, but then again, the standard of competition has been risible so far.
