World 10 Ball Final 8 Live Update at 12:30 Eastern

Yep, pool used to be an all American game and even today there is more action in the USA then in Europe.

But the truth is that the way the game (9ball) is played has changed and players need to adjust and not cry about how luck has a part of it, it had a part of it since day one but as long as American players were on top it was cool....
Not just American players need to adjust but most of the older players as well, players like Bustemante can not use their type of stroke on tables with tight pockets... and there hasn't been a really outstending American player since Johnny Archer.... there was Corey Deuel but he was gone after one year at the top...

Bottom line is that Asia is producing top players in a higher rate then any other ****ry and their discipline is second to none.
Where you have pool being learned in schools, you know where champions are raised.

Stop living in the past!
players like Shane should spend some time in Asia to strengthen their game so they could face the top players of the world.

Great little dissertation about your version of American pool.

I hope Shane stays right here. Let the Asians come to the United States, like the Europeans and Koreans do now.

Living in the past? Hell, I'm looking towards the future, Pal!

two reasons why they won't come:
1. they won't get a visa
2. there is more action over there

So basically, what it takes for an American to win a world title again (first time since 2002) it to host a tournament on American soil and play a game that no one else is playing out side of the USA on tables with big pockets.... ;)

With all the much respect to all those fine players, I want to see an American win the 2007 WPC in manila... but I know that it won't happen.

I'm sorry if I ruin somebodys day here, but let's not forget that this is not a World Championships, really.

This is not sanctioned by WPA, and the invitations was made with un-official "he's my friend" way.


I think it's quite shameless to put "World Championships" -title to a tournament without really been authorized.

I mean, you can think of it like whatever. You may also think that Mike Siegel won the 8-ball World Championships at 2005 and Loree Jon Jones came in second. :D

Ha ha.. This one is funny, considering Shane gambled with one of the Filipinos and took him down.. Who was that again? Orcullo? Ohhhh... but it was probably because it was that "easy" game, 8 ball, right?

Any ole hack can win at 8 ball, right? :D :D :D

(My, my.. it seems SOMEone is getting a little sensitive that the Filipinos are getting beat by Americans... Hmm?)

Guess that's why all those non-Americans come to compete in the U.S. Open.

What a great day it is in the history of American pool. The new up-and-coming pool super star, Shane Van Boening, versus the old guard, Cliff Joyner.

I hope this is the beginning of better things up ahead for the American professional pool players. This was a great triumph! BRAVO to Shane Van Boening and Cliff Joyner.

Hip, hip, hooray!

[Standing ovation and round of applause.]

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of American pool at its finest!
