World Pool Masters: The Archives | Niels Feijen vs. Shane van Boening - 2018 Final

Niels Feijen meets Shane van Boening in the final of the 2018 World Pool Masters in Gibraltar. Which of these modern legends of the game can add to their Masters trophy collection?

[@mikethomas4570]

Just recently developed much respect for Niels after watching some of his great training videos for first time! He seems to be a real helpful down to earth person.

[@DukeofBourbon]

Same here!

[@InterWebGuy99]

That's about as pure as a human being can play 9-ball. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving, all-around great guy. Love his training videos.

[@mikethebeginner]

I feel like I'm a fan of Neils because of his training videos, you start to feel like you know who he is. So I'm very happy to see such a great win over a formidable opponent.

[@kaylaschroeder1]

One of the most professional, exciting, pleasant championship games I've seen so far! The precision pool Niels played was so satisfying to watch! I'm happy for his epic win, especially after coming back from an injury and recovery to his cue arm. Both champion players!

[@nyr413]

Niels seems like one of the nicest people. Great to see

[@StevenPG72]

I love Niels, he's a great player and has always conducted himself in a great manner it's hard not to root for him and I'm American and congrats to SVB for being a great sportsman. I can't imagine if this had been Earl Strickland losing lol blaming everything and everyone for the loss

[@eriks8382]

Well when you play earl strickland and beat him. You didn’t beat BEAT him. You just got lucky. That’s the truth

Man, you can't play much better than Niels did through almost all of this final. It seemed like he was ball in hand accurate for rack after rack after rack, pretty much perfect pool. Shane couldn't seem to do anything right. Rare. I guess it allows somebody else to win occasionally. :-P Kidding, but he is the best overall, MHO. "National color of Holland" Brilliant, and a bit brutal.

[@thegodofpez]

Gotta love Niels’ jackhammer leg lift 🦵 breaks. 🤣

[@mattfeuter3032]

Imagine being down 7-4 and you gift your opponent a 1-9 combo to win the title. I would have died lol . Tough tough luck for Shane but Niels played extremely well.

[@brianb.2894]

Good job Neils. You`re the Master.👍

[@patricktalbert5279]

Love learning from you! Way to go Terminator

[@samerbleik5475]

I feel that niels has a heart of a baby 😊

[@alexdinghoor1437]

It’s sad seeing svb looking like that😢

[@kevinc8945]

It's from 2 yrs ago since this match he has learned to pace him self alot better and shooting like a god now to me svb is the king to beat now and number 2 is shaw

[@tipchel5709]

Well played!😎👋👋👋

[@mattmail3]

Who has had one of those matches like Svb did here? No matter what you do your opponent ends up with an easy shoot. Neils played well but the balls broke and rolled for him.

[@robdetuinman2]

Not really, Shane made 5 errors and Niels made 2 IMHO.

Sometimes everything just goes right for you.

[@Duffyyy94]

But the 7 blocked him a lot lol. He literally had to 2 rail kick a ball in and run out for one of the racks.

[@kevinc8945]

This was just Neil's tournament to win

[@kevinc8945]

He is deaf but as of 2020 he can hear fine now he gotten surgery since this match

[@TheUnionman315]

i thank you for all you do for us want to be a pro player just to be beat by you would be a highlight haa and if i beat you would be a high lite for me thank you so much my game is just starting to be good and it is because of you thank you good luck tim horn

Ya that's him

[@MarcassCarcass]

What size pockets are they playing? They look tight.

[@madkhaliqfarhan]

Shane Van Boening may have lost but he's still a winner in my heart, mainly because he inspired me to become a billiard player once I turn 21 next year! It's finally worth it after 16 years of liking billiards, starting at age 4 in 2005... 😇

I think he’s the most talented ever but efren still got him in greatness because of accomplishments

[@WuKe251]

Your kids is not considered as a leader of a national team lol just think about what a parent would think when they hear people talk about their kids like this. You should be ashamed for making comments like this. It’s a good thing his colleague realized to stop him immediately. Some of the European commentators are the reason why I like matches without commentating so much better. Oh well, at least COVID make them stay home 🤣

[@zielaq87]

The most unlucky break in history of pool

[@jimmyjones6086]

There is an even worse one.. De Luna makes 5 or 6 balls on the break and gets snookered aswell.. that layout was even better

[@TheJsjr]

One mistake. Just one. Shane not getting on that 4 ball changed this whole match. Damn shame.

[@robdetuinman2]

Shane made 5 mistakes and Niels made 2 imho

[@fastone371]

@@robdetuinman2 Are you considering his kicks when he was safed mistakes??? A mistake would be not making contact.

[@robdetuinman2]

Yes of course. He wanted to kick safe back. At this level missing the kickback safety will cost you points and he knows. Look how disappointed he is after.

[@JM-vh2zr]

I think that’s a terrible thing that was said about Shane ,take a little time and think about what you’ve said and done .
