5 years later and that jump shot on the 1 ball still amazes me like the first time i saw it

[@jasonpalladino1852]

The amount of pressure on SVB during that match was so high. Incredible finish by SVB!

[@joulupukki1607]

He rly showed why he is living legend! U can always count on shane deliverin

[@breaknrun]

Thanks fir spoiling the vid

[@mr.s1961]

@@breaknrun thanks for blaming others instead of yourSELF for reading comments instead of just watching the entire damn video first. Do anyone in your family take responsibility and accountability for their actions, or they just blame everyone else for their own mistakes and fk ups like you?

[@kelvikelv5322]

That jump shot onto the 1... WOW!!!

[@Thynqikan]

SPECTACULAR

[@joelpaley9912]

Beautiful shot and incredible control of the cue ball

[@brucedressel8873]

And that cut ... sweet.

[@maxlahoud]

I was expecting the Pool Life intro.

[@greeneyeddevil1]

What a match between two champions

[@sn0wboardfreak]

wow!! one of my fav van Boening wins ive seen easily

[@joulupukki1607]

Prolly best underpressure moments i have seen in pool

[@arranpattison5809]

Classic match between two of my favourite players... SVB under immense pressure shows his character... Karl played well, so could of gone either way.

[@chuckn.1367]

What a match. Fantastic.

[@brjones27]

Amazing 1 ball jump shot. But pretty awesome 2 ball masse from Boyes too. Great match.

[@rositadavila9055]

muy bien jugador

[@barbarasteed3966]

Great shot making Shane

[@seanscanlon9067]

36:16 "it's all gone quiet over there" and "shall we sing a song for you"?

[@mr.s1961]

@29:24 Karl sitting there with his hand on his chin knowing he isn't nearly half as good as Shane is.

[@AJMangino]

Shane-o!

[@penguins8933]

Who is that asian chick behind the European team?

[@ianmastrangelo2427]

Shane really had to heat up, he started off pretty shaky, if that exists for him lol

[@JinxTravel]

Why do they not have a 9ball rack instead of using the traditional 8 ball rack

[@joulupukki1607]

U can make much tighter racks on 8 ball rack than 9 ball rack. And imo best racks are made by hands

[@bruceperez2283]

Shane had so so records in Mosconi tournament.

[@mr.s1961]

With 16 appearences and only 3 wins yes... SVB need to get like Earl "The Pearl" Strickland, who has 15 appearances and 9 wins. More wins than any European player ever had... that goes for Johnny Archer too (9 wins).

[@quinnbaker1935]

That’s because Europe was less competitive back then. Not because Shane is worse than Earl

[@albernererhelge]

What a bad overview camera position

[@josihd6918]

Karl Boyes in this match looks like he didn't sleep for 3 days and threw up for 3 hours straight right before this match

[@JO_Artificial]

And the US is on life support right now

[@silasr20]

Lol

[@Aaronn14]

2 in a row ?

[@bombers9238]

Same shot from a different angle? WTF?

[@seanscanlon9067]

Yes, both shots required a thin cut with the object ball on the rail and so needed to hit the rail first to spin the object ball into the pocket but Shane's was at a more straight angle than Karl's. Shane hit the ball first and that is why he missed.

[@joulupukki1607]

Yes same shot with better angle do u not get it?

[@blueak3339]

44:00

[@josephnewcomb5670]

BOYES playing style reminds me of my own :)

[@TheJohnCooperShow]

As if!

[@midwestboyy6499]

Lets see

[@breaknrun]

36:18 how can these silly septics not understand what they’re singing?!

[@mr.s1961]

Karl can play okay, but still not the caliber of the G.O.A.T. title for title, SVB. When people talk about Karl, they don't think "considered one of the best players of all time."... but that's on SVB Wikipedia page and everyone knows its true. Karl doesn't play much, if you look at his titles vs Shane, shane has like over 40 times as many titles

[@TheJohnCooperShow]

Shana can’t play uk 8 ball though

[@ChickenBoo1989]

EU chants fun and creative USA chants: USA USA USA USA

[@leightonlee4143]

At least the US doesn’t boo their opponents when they do something amazing

[@justabitobanter4944]

First :P

[@samerbleik5475]

Second comment. Sorry 😔

[@jhkk1269]

The europeans really are the best at American pool

[@joulupukki1607]

Imo its universal pool nowdays it might have started in america but ppl been playing tables like these in decades so its fair play ground

[@mickymills6307]

Not to mention an American just won the world cup so I'd say we are best lol
