Didn't Earl take down SVB and Archer earlier this year? He is on top of his game. I say he should go.

I agree that Earl is still an amazing player, but the Mosconi Cup isn't just about how well you play. Being a team event, the overall attitude of the team and moral contribute greatly to their success.
Earl may bring a good game, but his attitude sours the experience for the others. It's not fair to the other four (especially if a first timer like Dechaine gets in) to cheapen something they have worked for and earned by allowing Earl to show his ass.
There is no question that Earl was one of the best to ever play the game, but, in his current state, he is nothing more than an embarrassment.
I say he goes. I watch for entertainment, and earl is the most entertaining of all.

The top 5 players on the points list should go...no matter who it is. Johnnyt
Its all about representing your country,personal accomplishments don't out weigh the fact that you represent the United States Of America,earl cant be trusted with that responsibility.
What he said. You can say what you want about the f'ld-up 10 footer they played on but he beat SVB that day and backed it up with a Scorpion killing and both of the aforementioned are locks to be there.
I question whether Cory should be.
SVB, Archer, Earl, Hatch and RM (RM is the wild card unless someone else goes red hot). Having said that I'm a Canadian so what do I know.
