With Mika Immonen playing some awesome pool in the final rack he potted Europe to Mosconi Cup victory and bagged himself the MVP in the process. Some memorable performances from Ralf Souquet, Niels Feijen who were unbeaten, laid the foundations for the second largest winning margin in Mosconi Cup history.
The European Team was made up of two reigning World Champions and the reigning US Open Champion and always looked too strong for the USA.
In fairness though the USA did not get the luck throughout the tournament, but take nothing away from the European team who potted the balls when they were presented.
All this hype about the Mosconi Cup got me thinking, has anyone posted any videos yet? So I thought I would have a look around the web and this is what I came up with.
Official Promo Video for Mosconi XV.
Some handheld work from the crowd in the arena!
So basically not much available at the moment from the 2008 version however there are a lot of videos from the previous editions. Once again last night Earl ‘The Pearl’ Strickland was at his controversial worst telling Mika Immonen he was ‘lucky’ after Mika beat him 5-0, he also proceeded to give ‘The Bird’ to a number of people in the audience.
Last year he had an issue with World 9-ball Champion Daryl Peach, some videos of this are below:
