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.

Is there going to be a live stream? I don't think any station here will air it, but I'd love to watch it. I always enjoy the Mosconi Cup.

this is a late post but i really like this Tournament.

chanfeed and atdhe might air the Mosconi Cup. I'm not sure but they always have a wide variety of sports and I think I've seen snooker aired on them.

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!

can someone give me the teams, love watching this on tv even tho i dont play 9ball myself

edit: found them

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.

If they made the Mosconi cup a mix of 9 ball and snooker, game over USA.

Can't wait to hear Jim Wych say ''Snukker'' 100 times and LOL.

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).

Jim Wych says "welcome to the Mosconi Cup" one more time, I'm going to smash a baby seal to death with a cuter baby seal.

shane van boner had an amazing collapso in the final game of the night, europe are free money from here

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.

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.

Or mix of 8 and 9 on both day 3 or 4. Or something along those lines.

Dechaine just laid the smackdown on Souquet. Team USA is back in it. Boy, I thought it was gg for USA after last night.

Morris wants to be the next Strickland. Looked like he was cursing out Appleton and I think I heard him say "you want some? You wanna take this to the streets later?"

Lol, that was a hoot. When he told Appleton he was having a go at the fans and not him, Appleton shoulda said, "get some passports and bring some fans to Europe next year".

Damn, Europe swept day 3. It's gg USA now.

Just watched a bit of a replay. Maybe it's just sample size, but the standard just seems atrocious.

**** didn't realise mosconi cup was on..

I love the Mosconi cup, the atmosphere is fantastic..

Found it on youtube, nice..

the production quality of uk based pool broadcasts seems so much better. The World Pool championship was amazing when it was in Wales, then it came to asia and turned to ****..
