Anyone else going to be watching this? I'm really looking forward to it but I think I'm going to miss most of it :( I'm hoping we fair better this year than we did last year! Nice to see Mika Immonen and Nick van den Berg in the Europe team. I'm sure Earl 'The Pearl' and his finger extensions will provide plenty of entertainment as usual. Most of all I'll be looking forward to Sid Waddell's genius commentary:
He looks about as happy as a penguin in a microwave.

Ive watched a bit of this the last couple of years. I hope that, that American guy who gets larely and Steve Davis are playing?

I presume the American guy you on about is the afore mentioned Earl "the pearl" Strickland the man everyone loves to hate! He's a complete **** but it wouldnt be half as good without him.

Steve Davis hasn't been in it the last 2 years because it clashes with the UK snooker championship now (which starts on Saturday)
 
You mean Earl Strickland? He's a right nugget, I remember him playing Davis in the world championships a few years ago and complaining about the biased crowd :rolleyes:
You're a professional, get the hell on with it!

Anyone know the line-ups for each team? Either way, i think the US will walk it, especially with top players like JJ and Strickland, we're not a scratch on them.
 
No, Steve David isn't in the Europe side :( And I think the larey guy you refer to is Earl Stickland (he gets REALLY mardy when he's losing and starts complaining that the crowd don't like him etc :D)
 
Steve Davis hammered Earl Strickland 5-0 in 2003, he really didn't like that :)

As for the teams:

Europe

Mika Immonen (Finland)
Imran Majid (England)
Ralf Souquet (Germany)
Thomas Engert (Germany)
Nick van den Berg (Holland)

USA

Johnny Archer (Georgia)
Rodney Morris (Hawaii)
Earl Strickland (North Carolina)
Mike Davis (Maryland)
Corey Deuel (Ohio)

Both teams look pretty evenly matched, though I'm not familiar with the English guy. It's a shame that the real pool pros now are coming from the Far East, would be interesting to see them involved.
 
Anyone actually watching?!

Europe 11-10 up needing 13 points to win the Cup for the third time in 13 years!

Stricklands been up to his usual tricks just now getting upset with the crowd for being too noisey! He then asked to have the white cleaned and was told he couldnt which upset him more!

edit: 12-10 now Strickland got beat 5 racks to 4!

Mika to take one more frame and it's all over. :)

At least we're guaranteed a draw at least, although the USA would retain the cup.
 
oooo pressure on the soft break..

unlucky mika, cracked at the big moment.
