Shane Van Boening vs Jose Alberto Delgado | Semi Final | 2022 European Open

[@Lotfatb8]

Some of the best commentary / camera views ever.

[@paulbushmann6465]

Favorite player of all time love u Shane keep winning

[@godjhaka7376]

Funny thing, Efren doesn't have a single World Masters win. Ralf Souquet and a nobody named Alex Lely beat him the 2 times he was in the final match. Even Earl has a World title win, not to mention SVB is the only person to win 2 in a row... 2 in a row that's GOAT.

@@godjhaka7376 "Nobody" Alex Lely? Are you mad?

[@scottvann4267]

The commentators didn't kno that Steve Miserat Was in the famous Miller, lite commercials, less filling great taste.😅

Delgado another matador from Spain that makes it 3 killers on the table for years to come The 3 Amigos Alcaide, the King, FSR the Knight and Delgado the Squire

[@teodoranikolic5907]

I've never seen SVB struggle with the break as much as at this European open.

[@somethingtrulyhorrifying]

*match spoiler below* I've never seen anyone scratch that many times on the break in a match, let alone win the match afterwards. Just SVB things.

[@jeffbassplays]

Just look at how well Shane broke during all of 2022 (PLP, WPC, and UK Open in particular), then think about how not long afterwards, the side rail break in WNT events was swiftly erased and changed to the "break box" rule that we have today. 🤔 IMHO, I think Shane knows that this rule change might be his own fault 🤣

[@pdn]

Love listening to the commentators talk about how the new break rule is revolutionary and it'll change the game. Fast forward just a few tournaments and every top player is making several balls on the break, with shape more often than not.

[@comeontars]

What’s the new break rule?

[@pdn]

@@comeontars Break from a uniquely designed box area, with the 9 on the spot. The idea is that it would eliminate the cut break and the wing ball break. Life finds a way.

Shane you're a great player

[@rogerscottcathey]

I don't know what all feelings SVB might have felt during this match but "fruity" wouldn't have been among the descriptive choices of terms . . .

[@rogerscottcathey]

SAD has a noble face.

[@USMCvet32]

30:27 “he’s feeling fruity”😂😂😂😂 what the hell does that mean in the UK? Because in the US it means something else I’m sure.

[@jamespatrick5930]

Unbelievable how bad Shane's breaks were.

[@y2kazan868]

This whole times I thought I was watching 2023.

[@fitzroy259]

And am learning a whole lot from watching you play

[@finebourbon]

I'm a SVB fan all the way. After this breaking exhibition, surely SVB will have to admit "it wasn't his fault that he won". 😂

[@Mike-x7x7i]

I liked how he'd been smiling after 3rd or 4th break scratch. Seemed like he couldn't believe it :)

[@ledariussummers1788]

Did you notice at 7:36 in the second match, he turned around when the bottle dropped in the background?😅😅😅😅

[@ledariussummers1788]

@@Mike-x7x7i all of that power from his long ass bridge. But he still has a good stroke.

[@hammerlane3871]

I'm so glad I spent all those hours practicing the old break preparing for the bigger events just so they could change the break and change the rack, so back to square 1 😑

[@RichardsWorld]

Shane proved that he doesn't win just because of his break shot😀 Honestly he might have made a world record the number of scratches on the break in a pro match.

[@Idontpicksides]

Idkw commentators being rude to delgado calling him pretender and all

[@williamconrad-te3dw]

Could be the rack is not on the spot perfect?

[@infidel1993]

They're racking the 9 on the foot spot instead of the 1, because even making them break from inside the box is too easy in 9-ball these days.

[@nokiaphone113]

Is Shane breaking with his play cue now?

[@valentinodevito8500]

It’s 9 ball a lot of people break with there playing cue

[@teodoranikolic5907]

Sometimes he does. It looks like to me he does that when he can't figure out the break and then gives up even trying. I'm probably wrong tho, he broke with his playing cue during last Mosconi and it worked just fine.

[@raflianihzar202]

I always watch svb to learn his break, but this game was 😂 you know, still a good game btw. Great but a lot of scratch

[@vassilpapadak]

The colors are so dark, even the table looks Grey instead of green. Apart from that overall the features cannot be distinguished clearly because of the darkness, greyish, lighting

[@pdn]

lol... the table is grey.

[@vassilpapadak]

@@pdn I thought so, still is there anything to be done with the luminosity? I am not an expert

[@paulbushmann6465]

SVB my favoplayet

[@jaypisme2343]

Why not just make the brown 7 pink instead of swapping balls like that?

[@infidel1993]

Ikr, a purple 5 ball isn't at all confusing 🙄

[@Saad_vii]

1:36:05 the timer after hitting the one ball didn’t reset !! WFT ?

[@MrAntonnio96]

SVB still the GOAT though in my humble opinion

[@Rowdymoudi]

When Shane gets going, he makes the game looking easy and boring.

[@charlesfair1582]

Tough match for both! Jose could be very good,he will harden up in time and be a force. ( probably). Worse time of it I have ever seen Shane have but he still shot good. Now the hard news; Is it really that hard to find decent commentators.? I don’t think there is a need to try and be melodramatic. The game takes care of itself. Besides, you both suck at it. Try just telling us, What’s happening; What’s happened; And describe the skill required for each shot and how to do it; and ( or ) how the player did it. That’s the part you are supposed to be doing Karl Boyes ,yet you never even try. And your whispering,mumbling, approach to talking ain’t gonna cut it. Your not getting the job done. (Not saying you couldn’t do it. Just saying your not doing it .) Thanks for listening. Oh yeah,can’t quit till I point out the ridiculous use of the PURPLE five ball! Come on Matchroom, Is it the players you hate, or the game. I think you should change ( in Snooker) the seven ball to Teal. Or Orange. Or chartreuse. Are these really colors? Who cares? It’s not the color purple that is the problem. It’s taking the color of an existing numbered ball and putting a different number on it, And expecting it to not having a huge effect on a game of numbered Rotation. OK, straight pool,eight ball,…..No big deal. But a game in which you Must hit the lowest numbered ball on the table First, and a rack of balls that have been the same colors and numbers for hundreds of years and expecting that to not affecting the players ,the commentators,and, Yes, the spectators.,is in my opinion,insanity! Wise up Matchroom, I love ya Matchroom, but Wise up. Please !!! again; thanks for listening. Let’s clear up this ridiculous and temporary BLACKEYE on 9 ball and 10 ball pool and move on to bigger and better ball games. After all isn’t this “what your hanging your hat on “ ? Could this be the eventual demise of Matchroom in pool ? I wouldn’t think so, You have worked so hard and accomplished so much. But you never know

[@Wave8Form]

Shot clocks are stupid for Pool.
