Surprised nobody made this thread earlier. Guess I'll do it now.
Anyways, Mosconi Cup starts in a couple days. Who's everyone rooting for? Anyone going? Anyone got money riding on it? Predictions?
I'm not rooting for a particular side. Don't feel a strong love or hatred for USA or Europe. Just looking forward to watching some big names shoot some pool. I do like Johnny Archer and I'll be rooting for him in all his matches. I'm a little disappointed Karl Boyes and Corey Deuel didn't make it this time around. Boyes played great his first time round. They said he might be Europe's weak link but I think he carried his fair share of the weight well. Deuel, I just like to watch him play. His cue action is one of the best I've seen and he plays a calculating but still aggressive style.

Boyes is a bit of a form player so in a 5 player per team format I guess he could be considered risky. Deuel, yep I'd like to see him there too for the same reasons as Frank. Anyway, go Europe!
Rodney Morris got trounced and Van Boening and Dechaine's just imploded. How did Dechaine miss that 9? I mean it's not automatic for your average rec player but he's a pro for the love of all that's holy.
Lol at Jim Wych getting called out for excess verbal handjobs to Niels Feijen (spelling's a little suspect but it's always so with Dutch names).
Anyone hear the loud european fan lastnite? Like every game he woud come out with a big EEEEUUUUUUUURROOOOOPPEE, got me every time. Musta hit the drink and casino early and fell into the hall to watch the pool.
Mosconi cup should really be a mix of games: 10 ball, 8 ball, straight pool. It's not big TV anyway, only the pool fans watch.
Agree. But I would make day four 9 ball for TV. Day 1 straight pool, day 2 10 ball, day 3 8 ball and day 4 9ball. Saturday and Sunday games that casual players will recognise.
