[@aquabiowoods6759]

Strickland ....hmmm... he should retire

[@cynic8021]

Please control the crowd. Highly distracting and completely unbecoming in instances like this. No wonder they call snooker a gentleman's game compared to pool. Inb4 someone decides to compare this to a football game -- that takes place in an open air stadium, this is a closed room.

[@trident1314]

I like a bit of atmosphere etc. but it does seem a bit yobbish TBH

[@rezhaadriantanuharja3389]

Pool is a popular game at bars and pubs so this atmosphere is about right IMO. It has the same vibes and energy as Dart competition . I don’t mind, I prefer each sport to have its own style.

[@drummerjustice97]

I understand where you’re coming from but this is the Mosconi cup, where this type of crowd behavior is encouraged, it has always been this way. There are plenty of other elite billiards tournaments here on KZbin that absolutely do not allow this type of crowd energy. Maybe go check those out instead if this is not for you.

[@cynic8021]

@@drummerjustice97 Cheers. I watched the 2022 mosconi and it didn't seem so rowdy so I wondered if it was a crowd control issue. I still enjoy it but i do feel for the players getting heckled at.

[@Armageddon13121]

Beautiful place

[@chathurravanikar9151]

how does this format work? can someone please explain?

[@Jane_Cadillac]

The game starts with 9 balls in total, the first ball to kill is number 1 then you kill number 2 successively, until 9, an addendum you can kill 9 with any other ball.

[@Grnvolpe]

I really wonder if the decision to include Earl was one to hype the contest or to motivate the other player. If it’s motivation then what a waste. Things don’t work that way. It’s one guy at the table at a time. Bringing in Gorst changes everything

[@davidmunoz4155]

A un jugador como él no se le puede decir que no si quiere jugar un torneo de este calibre. Lo a ganado todo y en múltiples ocasiones, nadie puede dudar de su talento

[@Sacredsnow2]

@@davidmunoz4155no one can doubt his resume and past that’s for sure but earl should step into a teaching position. He’s a FANTASTIC teacher and coach and he truly understands the game. But his natural talent is starting to decay with age. He’s really feeling the pressure as you could hear on the mic. I don’t think the Earl of old was deterred so much by pressure. If this was the earl of old he would’ve sunk it and then reprimanded the crowd for being too loud during a pool match 😂 Anyways I think earl was deserving of a spot but now that we have another superstar, it may be time for him to step aside.

[@OneShot_G]

@@Sacredsnow2 Earl has always been a talker thats just how he go back and watch any of his matches

[@Sacredsnow2]

@@OneShot_G I know earl is a talker (hence my comment about jeering the crowd then sinking a ball) but he never used to whisper to his teammates about how his arm was shaking so bad. The nerves are starting to get with him as he ages (and that’s normal. He’s in the biggest tournament in the world and his natural ability is starting to go)

They should have the players sitting on the side for all matches

[@Teelo99]

If it's your fault for putting the 2 in front of the side and you call your opponent lucky? Not because you're unlucky seeing how its your shot and/or didn't hit it better...? Blaming others instead of admitting you could've hit it better. I guess it was Albin's fault you didnt freeze the cue ball as wel.... 😂 I don't care how good he is., I can't look up to a guy like that. It's not how good you are at something, its your character people should respect.

[@LexNatural]

He's lucky that Strickland sucks.

[@drummerjustice97]

Yeah Earl is incredibly annoying, I respect what he has done for the game and also understand that he comes from a different era of pool players but at the same time it’s like dude you are extremely lucky to be in the position that you are in, maybe show some respect, be a true sportsman and shut up with the childish sh*t talk that does nothing but make you look terrible and play even worse. Idk that’s just my opinion.

[@sawyerhayes7674]

Why is not Eklent Kaci in Europe Group?

He probably didn't want to play on the same team as Filler because he knows how bad Filler sucks. Kaci always destroys Filler and knows that he has the mind and body of a child. Eklent doesn't want to be babysitting for the entire match.

[@CarlosDaniel-lv9ix]

What kind of game this is? Someone care to explain what the rules are?

[@UberGingah]

9 ball pool is played with the 1-9 balls of an 8 ball set. The idea is to hit the lowest ball on the table and work your way up to the final object ball, the 9 ball. The 9 ball can be pocketed at any time as long as the cue ball makes contact with the lowest ball first for an instant win. Illegally pocketing the 9 ball is an instant lose

Isn’t it obvious?
