Hell of a match. These guys should be celebrated for keeping their games in tact all these years. If only Earl could learn the break

@1:13:32 Earl got lucky on a shot and said "that looked like Efren" 😂 He later said he watches that replay all the time.

@@RichardsWorld Earl is a five times US Open champion and maybe the greatest 9 ball player ever! I highly doubt its a luck..

Congrats Ralf and Earl's control, I think you earned (both) respect.

Dang Earl is still so fast and accurate. His skill is holding up way way better then almost all former greats of the same age, but his mentality/confidence is what gets him these days which is understandable.

The fact that these two ate still on top of their game at their age is remarkable

I think I may be in love with Earl Strickland…

@danielhicks4826 3 ай бұрын

He's had 40 years of awesomeness dude literally has had everything moments, unreasonable anger, happiness, sadness, disappointed, super excited, big losses, huge legendary wins, and one of the objective best champions and accomplishments overall in history. I highly recommend anything with him from like 1985 right to this day!.

So many distractions. Baby’s crying. Phones ringing. Music playing. Seems odd.

@tinhoang6531 3 ай бұрын

somehow we need audiences for the game to be more well known. Most pro players play in pool clubs with lot of distractions so they usually get along with it. Some pool player play really good when not having much audiences, but will be less good when having a lot people watching.

@onemoremisfit 3 ай бұрын

Most of the background noise is more or less unavoidable but they could have easily done without the music.

OK... wow... I think Earl has redeemed himself and has actually moved toward being more of a gentleman. In the past I have seen him walk away from the winner. Now I see good sportsmanship. Maybe someone he cares about said something to him. Maybe JF Flowers told him that if he wants to keep their sponsorship that he needed to tone down a bit. Maybe he told himself. Old age has a mellowing effect. All the extensions and thumb tapes in the world does not change our short lived destinies. Was he wearing three shirts? Oh that's just a long wrist band I guess.

Lol, Mika actually needs to learn it from Earl now. Dont know why Mika the iceman has become really hot lava right now.

Your "has now won 7 of the last nine racks" is not true. The score was 6 - 1 Soquet leading. Then Earl started running racks (nope), but then for him to have 7 in a row, the score would now be 7 - 6, Earl leading. Since Soquet moved up one to seven, when it was 6 -1, it is impossible for Earl to have run 7 racks in a row. Maybe you meant 6 racks. Edit... Now I see what he said. 7 OF the last nine. OK

I like Earl.. he shows passion for the game and speaks whats on his mind. He doesnt give a f , todays pool need a players like him who have character and emotions , not just moving around the table like robots!

@cosmicraysshotsintothelight 3 ай бұрын

Love how he said "That was like Efren." Meaning he thought it was lucky and that Efren is lucky. Earl's kick bank was 100% luck. Efren's shots are not luck. Earl has had this problem describing Efren for years.

@lokidj360 3 ай бұрын

Even if you do one crazy shot 10 times and make 5, you still need luck to be on your side to make it on the first try in a match dont u think?
