A selection of some of the incredible shots from the 2022 Mosconi Cup! Which one was your favourite? #MosconiCup #MatchroomPool #Nineball #pooltrickshots
Ironically, it was Sky's missed 5 ball against Alcaide that swung the Cup to Europe. Europe was leading 8-7 and Sky was looking to go up 4-1 in the match and after playing a fantastic carom into the 7 ball, he blew the easy 5. Alcaide ended winning that match to give Europe a 9-7 lead and they never looked back. Had Skyler won, it would have been tied up 8-8 and who knows what happens from there.
@@napostrophen - Earl certainly isn't without blame, but there also wasn't a whole lot to expect from him. He won 1 more match than I thought he would (when he partnered with Shane). It was also obvious Jeremy Jones put him in 3 times in Day 3 so that he didn't have to play him towards the end when the matches were the biggest.
I spent $1000 on 2 front row VIP tickets and could barely see the table because of how low the seats were, monitors in the way, and even cameramen who literally sat between me and the table for the entire racks and refused to move. It was a heartbreaking experience for my wife and I after being so excited all year to attend. We literally watched most of the day from the top of the bleachers instead of our front row seats. Matchroom, I've been trying to get in contact with you about a refund request and no one is responding. Who do I need to contact for some help???
I'm from Albi and it's been the same for the blackball world championshis in Albi this past year. Next time don't spend any money and stay at home with your connected tv on TH-cam and keep your money to bring your old lady to a fucking good restaurant and try to expect a blowjog after the dessert.
I'm sorry but no, it wasn't magnificent. It would've been magnificent to see Jeremy Jones pick someone at the top of their game to round out the team instead
He lost it for America. Where the potting succession is above 90% with smaller pockets, taking someone on with anything below that is just suicide. Dunno why Corey deuel or billy thorpe weren’t picked instead
@@Mrsingingdude1 i agree earl is way past his prime and cant win anything in a team enviornment anymore, also id argue that oscar also drug down the team
That shot when Sky was UP 3-1 with only THREE EASY BALLS left for the easiest of run-outs imaginable would have put him up 4-1 and 100% he would have tied the cup at 8-8. Instead he CHOKED and the momentum shifted hard for Europe securing them victory. Sky’s TERRIBLE MISS will go down as the worst in Mosconi HISTORY
Skyler played best pool he has ever played... casuals cant even comprehend how borderline insane it was even try those shots.. im from europe but there was no player in my country so i was rootin for US cause of Earl, my wet dream was Earl winning the cup with some crazy shot
Earl just needed to win what he did... and... one other match... and if he did you could then not point to him as a weak point on the team. He really needed to beat Albin Ouschan because going 1 for 3 in doubles and 1 and 1 in singles for the guy arguably last on the team would have been huge for him having 2 points earned.
The kick Carom Shot by Shane was insane the gap between them tight pockets and hooked also played the 2 way, i wish the US would know how to captain a team.
I wish you wouldn't have cut Sky off when he was explaining that beautiful carom to Jeremy (I think) where the nine just 'moseyed on over' into the pocket almost at the end of the video. "I knew it was there, I just had to get on it, ...". I don't know where he was going, maybe the English? But I would have liked to have heard the rest of it. Some of these shots were beyond belief. The most impressive to me were Shane's bank around a blocker at speed to an almost dead full ball carom to the nine. If I saw that, which I have doubts that I would have, executing it properly was nuts. The one were somebody (Alcaide IIRC) brought that cue around to the two, I think it was, on the close short rail down through one or two rails, barely avoiding the side scratch, through blockers covering almost the entire opposite side of the table concerned, threading the insanely tight available path, almost touching two of them, and at perfect speed. That requires ultimate skill and no small amount of 'luck' meaning breaking through that low percentage possibility, and the SPEED. It also incorporated so many different difficult to achieve requirements in one shot HOLY CRAP! A couple of those jumps, high loft to controlled bounces to not get ejected from the table, and that partial ball jump where the arc had to be kept so low over the blocker, short off the table, to that killer draw back to about where he started. Actually, practically ALL of them were nuts. No surprise several that shot several of them, SVB, Skyler, Filler, etc., but what did surprise me were to see so few from Jayson and Earl, to name two. I guess either they were controlling that rock accurately, or missing the 'trick shots' that resulted, or handed their partner some of that crap, or excellent placements to attempt those shots. Looking forward to seeing these whole matches, however many of them, later and next year.
I'm european and a pool player... Despite the rules and and everything Skyler deserve MVP title from what he did all along the competition. There is nothing to talk about it !
Snooker fans tend to dismiss nine ball often saying how big the pockets are etc... What they don't get is the ability these guys have to see a shot and have the skill to actually play it. Nine ball rewards people who are willing to try the tough shot.
loosing the game or not how did skybet not get MVP crazy some of the shots he hit made were outstanding never mind having the vision also what a player
Im sure this is fine, i will watch. But can’t you put out the matches in FULL ? A service to the audiens/people of the world. Is that askungen to much ?
It's a lot of practice, you don't get that by playing casually with mates once or twice a week, you need to be playing 4-5-6 hours a day, almost every day
10:25 - And the game would be better without them, too. Yes, jumping is a skillset. However, so is getting out of situations without an easy "cheat." Hell, even APA doesn't allow jumping. It improves the game, the players, the strategy. Jumping, while effective, is a slight to skill.
He definitely seemed out of sorts and was even letting the crowd get to him. Still he came through when it mattered most though. Wish I could say the same for Earl.
Why is the American fluke shots shown so many times and team Europe shots shown only once? The American team shots were not that better off to show more than once...
It seems like I ask this every year, but is this really all the US has? Shane, Skyler, and a combination of washed up vets and mid-tier talent? Europe on the other hand is deep as hell, there's several guys they could've called up if need be and not miss a beat.
despite these immaculate players and all their astounding shots, all of them would agree Efren could beat all of them in his prime. The calm, relaxed but concentrated stride of Reyes moving to his next shot will never be topped.
Jesus christ I've never seen such a tribute to a losing team before. Also the constant Strickland talking when Europe are at the table.... So glad they lost
Better than Chris Reinhold from the last couple of years. Also better than Oscar Dominguez or the washed up Earl. US just doesn't have a comparable talent pool. And while I love Jeremy Jones, it might be time for him to step down as captain.
@@linanguyen1361 I honestly feel like he’s just following Jayson’s bad lead. That man acts disgracefully toward the Americans fans and Joshua follows. When he played with Albin he was more respectful. Albin, David, & FSR seem to be more humble, classy guys. That’s the kind of influence Joshua needs. Jayson acts like a clown at Mosconi. Supposedly a nice guy otherwise but why act like an asshat when so many people are watching? I don’t get it
Skyler Woodward it’s the best representing USA as pool players … it’s a kid that every year shows he can grow at this game it’s the real deal not like his team mates like SHAME I meant Shane … styler … and Dominguez … and even Strickland and how you team usa expect any difference when playing Moscú I cup of you keep bringing the same dudes that can’t handle this … until you decide to bring different players we be still being the clowns for team Europe can expect different results doing the same over and over and over
This was crazy even by Mosconi Cup standards
woodward was on fire, amazing player!
Skyler would have taken that mvp award easily if they were the winners
But they aren't

@@chili015 you also have to blame Earl constant misses in his doubles match. I also agree that David had NO business winning that match

Harsh but people will remember the critical miss
skyler played amazing he had me hype i felt so bad for him after that match hes become one of the best to do it
😊😊
This might as well be called the skyler woodward highlight reel. What a fucking G!
Woodward was so spectacular
Fisher undoubtedly (and rightfully) agrees!
Woodward is the best on team USA, but that Golden-Brake was luck.
Sky was shooting out of this world my god

its good to see shane smiling :)
awesome production from matchroom, thank you for streaming
Magnificent to see Earl Strickland back at the Mosconi Cup.
I'm sorry but no, it wasn't magnificent. It would've been magnificent to see Jeremy Jones pick someone at the top of their game to round out the team instead

Earl embarrassed himself.
If Earl embarrassed himself, what did Jayson do? LOL
SKYLER WOODWARD EASILY PLAYED THE BEST POOL IN MOSCONI CUP
Yea other than the STRAIGHT IN 5 ball a few inches from the pocket that he missed WHICH COST THE US THE CUP 👍
That shot when Sky was UP 3-1 with only THREE EASY BALLS left for the easiest of run-outs imaginable would have put him up 4-1 and 100% he would have tied the cup at 8-8.
Instead he CHOKED and the momentum shifted hard for Europe securing them victory.
Sky’s TERRIBLE MISS will go down as the worst in Mosconi HISTORY
@@williamstdog9 Tyler played last match not Skyler and He choked
@@williamstdog9 Unfortunately it happens
Yes, I’d have to agree that was THE pivotal shot.
Skyler deserved MVP even though they lost, he carried USA
Maybe if he hadn't missed that easy 5 and bottled the match against Alcaide. LOL
Awesome shot collection.
Some of Filler’s potting was ludicrously good this year. Wunderkid
Skyler played best pool he has ever played... casuals cant even comprehend how borderline insane it was even try those shots.. im from europe but there was no player in my country so i was rootin for US cause of Earl, my wet dream was Earl winning the cup with some crazy shot

Only time I've seen SVB outshine the MVP Sky trick shots are the reason . The level of ProPool is astounding, worldwide TYVM
Mosconi Cup is fun to watch because of excitements perseverance from players and audiences.
Shane and Skyler played so well this entire event. 🍻 to them
Except that Shane just can’t seem to ever beat Filler or Shaw in a singles match
The kick Carom Shot by Shane was insane the gap between them tight pockets and hooked also played the 2 way, i wish the US would know how to captain a team.
Jj is amazing USA just needs better players we don’t have 30 countries to pick from like they do
@@dclarke20 Yeah we should get to pick 3 from the Philippines to play with Sky and Shane 😂
10:46 ..... FSR is Monster of Monster !!!
1:55 maybe one of the best shots I have ever seen. Damn that was nice.
When Jayson Shaw celebrates, he looks like a baby vulture. Baby vultures are not the most ...handsome birds, but Jayson's cool. And what a shot!
Let’s just say neither one of these teams would win any beauty contests

15:33 fair play, what a shot
21:15 I'm speechless
Eurof** here, Skyler had no business being on the losing side of this tournament. Outrageous.
perfect👍
I was so upset that Sky didn’t use the bridge for that shot on the purple
Woodward is actually insane!!!!!!

If the rest of the US team played half of Sky did, they would have won.
you finally made a good "top shots" video
loosing the game or not how did skybet not get MVP crazy some of the shots he hit made were outstanding never mind having the vision also what a player
Should of have the title Skyler highlights lol
The fan who won't let go at 3:11 sums up how annoying that crowd was to have to listen to
It's not the fan, It's Billy Thorpe..
You casual

Is that askungen to much ?
so many of those shots didn’t even belong in this video 😂😂
skylar woodwards innocent smile haha
Didn’t see many blue shirts on Top Shots…
yeah, the Worst Shots reel will have the same ratio unfortunately
You could always go get your eyes tested?
The real question is why can all of these steely eyed men of immense skill and hand eye coordination not manage one decent high five between them???
Earl is the best player for Europe this year😁
🤣🤣. No need to cry about it my laaaaad 🤪🤪
@@mattiasborre1344 Yes haha 🤣
@joshuajames maybe you shouldn’t watch things like this in future as you obviously can’t handle your team losing. Have a good day at school 👍

Playing on a 9ft 4in table today, and you don't understand the stroke and aim it requires ,with the execution they achieve with position
It's a lot of practice, you don't get that by playing casually with mates once or twice a week, you need to be playing 4-5-6 hours a day, almost every day
I see some shots here, that are so simple and i often do them... I don't get the " INCREDIBLE SHOTS
"
I could watch a top worst shots as well. From the highlights there was plenty...
Should be named , Americas top shots. Not many Europe top shots lol
Acctualy woodward was the king of bank in this match
Childs play if you look at shots of BATA lol
Europe would still win if I were the captain 😁
word
3:48 & 11:54 What's better than sinking a 9-ball on a break
keeping justin Bergman out is like keeping kobe out when micheal jordan was in town , all political !!
He didn't wanna take part in major events. Refuse to travel out of Missouri. He is one of my favorites
He needs to get his butt out of misery and come play for the USA
@@Yezir760 yep
USA lost because Shane didn’t wear those magical shoes anymore on the last day

SKYLER WOODWARD
As a long time snooker fan i think these players are amazing but can they beat the snooker player in 9 balls?
@@Matchroom_pool what?
Americans made the cup interesting this year. Don’t know wth Jason was doing though. Sorry performance this year from him tbh.
He definitely seemed out of sorts and was even letting the crowd get to him. Still he came through when it mattered most though. Wish I could say the same for Earl.
Anyone else see how earl popped up after every shit you can tell she is gettin to him
Why does skyler look like a full-grown version of Hasbulla??
Why is the American fluke shots shown so many times and team Europe shots shown only once? The American team shots were not that better off to show more than once...
Because the last two years the Europeans fluked in a stupid number of shots and proceeded to act like they’re special. The world is balanced now
who are the announcers
The female commentator is Allison Fisher.
@@organizedchaosmark Thank you. She is really good. It might be a lot of fun to have her and Earl as a team.
@@kirpalite That would be a very interesting pairing indeed!

BAD HOMBRES
Despite 15 of the best shots you can make USA still lost. Wow.
Skyler was fucking killer as well
crowd makes this unwatchable
Woodward won MVP. Idc.
despite these immaculate players and all their astounding shots, all of them would agree Efren could beat all of them in his prime. The calm, relaxed but concentrated stride of Reyes moving to his next shot will never be topped.
Some of these Strickland shots are really basic, hate how they gas him up so much just because he is older
Zero skill required. Some of these pros are missing their shots by inches and the balls still drop
If it’s that easy why weren’t you picked for one of the teams? You seem to know what you’re talking about

Booing the Visitors? What a foul crowd.
Asking to much, that is.
Jesus christ I've never seen such a tribute to a losing team before. Also the constant Strickland talking when Europe are at the table.... So glad they lost
USA too many make a momments
They should scrap the nine ball off the break, theres no skill in it
Bruh fix the resolution
Edited: it's all good now, no worries
It's up to 1080 in me
In a compilation of missed shots.I believe Shaw would be the most featured player. What a over reactive clown.
