Earl said extension not time out, I am speechless 😂😂😂

[@Treasurehuntingwithtomandmarie]

I noticed that too! Completely put a hex on it :D

[@INDOBILLIARD]

True

[@andrewbell7579]

What are you on about, it's called extension not time out, he said it correctly.

[@Treasurehuntingwithtomandmarie]

@@andrewbell7579 the original poster was speechless because Earl usually says timeout instead of extension. This Mosconi cup was the only time I think I’ve heard him say extension!

[@vishybreh]

I love all the players in the Mosconi cup, despite being Team USA. Regularly, I watch all these guys. So win or lose, Doesn’t matter. It’s interesting to see how the crowd plays a part in this cup

[@andrewwood9067]

I was just talking about that. Pool desperately needs an Earl or Mike Seigal type that interacts with the crowd. People watched as much to see what he was going to do as the game itself

[@GodSpeed91]

You can see Earl behave much classy than before. The man definitely has his own controversy in the past for his actions but to see him much more gracious in defeat is a joy to watch.

[@theunknownstuntman4010]

Him and Shaw are old friends as well which probably helps

[@360PhoenixFlip]

I love how the crowd respects him when he called his extension too, no barking like dogs like usual

[@legendhavok1723]

He’s gracious in defeat now because he knows he doesn’t have the skills anymore so when he loses, it’s kind of expected. And no, not trying to away from Earls legacy, he’s still arguably one of the top 5 players in history. But, as with any game or sport, time takes away some of the skills and you just don’t have what it takes to compete at the highest levels with consistency. There will still be flashes of the legend, like we saw in the first two days, but overall he’s just not at the top anymore. He knows that too, so while him losing still probably pisses him off, he knows he won’t be on the winning side in a singles match very often.

[@bgjb-r1499]

As it relates to 9-Ball and only 9-Ball there’s Earl Strickland and then everyone else. During the 80’s he literally decimated any competition. During the 90’s things got a little tougher, but still he dominated 9-Ball. He won significant tournaments through the early 2000’s. [5 US Open & 3 World Titles]. Jason who?

[@legendhavok1723]

@@bgjb-r1499 I agree with everything you just said. For the 90s and even a decent part of the early 2000s. But its 2022 now. Earl is not at the top of the current player skill pool. I don't think it's an insult to say that either, its just reality.

Nice to see some decent safety here

[@butler-macdonald8351]

One of Earl's most memorable moments was during the 1996 Mosconi Cup when he faced a 21 year old snooker player from England who was a last-minute call up as a substitute player for Team Europe, and had never played competitive 9-ball in his life until that point. The snooker player was such a 9-ball noob that he even fouled on one occasion because he didn't know which ball was supposed to be hit first. Worth watching that video in its entirety just to see the result! 😲

[@brendanthebattlerstafford5145]

Good call. That noob went on to be the GOAT of snooker and is still number one in the world today. Freaky talent.

Shaw doesn't realize he beat Earl, he's acting like a little kid. Earl is a living legend, having Shaw play against Earl is a great honor for him.

[@MStoica]

I don't think it's that. He just wants to annoy the US fans that annoy him. Think about it, if there was a closed door match, no fans live or watching on TV, would he have reacted the same way between him and Earl? Certainly not. I feel this year is more of a fans battle than ever.

It would be hard to argue Earl not being in the top 5 ever. . Efren of course, Shane VB all in that conversation.

This sport we love is dying, we desperately need an entertainer. A movie would also help, The Hustler, and The Color Of Money did wonders for the popularity of the sport.
