Europe 6 – 9 USA

Match 11:     Feijen & Ouschan 4 – 5 Woodward & Styer Match 12:     Alexander Kazakis 3 – 5 Skyler Woodward Match 13:     Feijen & Kaçi 5 – 4 Deuel & Styer Match 14:     Jayson Shaw 4 – 5 Skyler Woodward Match 15:     Ouschan & Kazakis 5 – 1 Thorpe & Van Boening TEAM USA are just two points away from winning the partypoker Mosconi Cup for the first time since 2009 as they won their third session in a row following a hard-fought evening at the Alexandra Palace. Incredibly, 2005 at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas, was the last time that the USA had won three sessions in a row at the Mosconi Cup. Having not won for such a long time, America were understandably massive outsiders at the outset of the event but now stand on the brink of a stunning upset as the galvanised team played with heart, grit and a huge amount of skill. As the competition entered the crucial third day, the tension on the table was palpable. The opening doubles match, easily the longest […]

In the end it was another 3-2 session win for Team USA and at the half-way stage, the seemingly impossible American victory is now a possibility. USA captain Johan Ruijsink said, “After the first match we showed we were a team by picking up the next point immediately and get back in the lead. “It was a nervous day because it was important that if we won two days, and I know a lot of people wouldn’t have thought this before we started, but we now actually have a chance to win the Mosconi Cup. “That’s how important it was. We don’t care what they do, we […]

Die USA sind zurück!

Die USA sind zurück und führen nach dem ersten Tag des Mosconi Cups 2018 in London mit 3:2. Unter der Führung des ehemaligen Kapitäns des europäischen Teams, Johan Ruijsink, und seines Co-Trainers Jeremy Jones zeigten die Amerikaner viel Entschlossenheit, sich unter gewohnt beeindruckenden Bedingungen am berühmten Londoner Veranstaltungsort zurückzukämpfen. Zuerst hatte es nach dem frühen 0:2 bereits so ausgesehen, als würde sich die Dominanz des europäischen Teams wie in den letzten Jahren wiederholen.

Lead by former European team captain Johan Ruijsink and his trusted lieutenant Jeremy Jones, the Americans showed plenty of resolve to fight back from 2-0 down in some intimidating conditions at the iconic London venue. Marcus Chamat, the European captain, will have his mettle tested tomorrow as he attempts to revive his team’s fortunes after a sobering second half of the evening where his team won only four of the 19 racks played. Ruijsink said, “At 2-0 down I wasn’t panicking; we didn’t really get that many chances. If we did get a chance, though, I knew we’d do […]

Statement: Mario He

Mario He has withdrawn from the European squad for the forthcoming Mosconi Cup after receiving notification of a failed drugs test. The case is ongoing, however, He has decided to withdraw from the European Mosconi Cup squad while he awaits the outcome of the investigation. He said: “I‘m so, so sad that this happened. There is never a right time for this but this was the worst time I could imagine. The Mosconi Cup was always my dream and I made it, but now I can’t play it because I was tested positive by a doping test by a non-performance enhancing drug. “It’s unreal and like a nightmare, which I will never forget in my life. I have high blood pressure, which I have had since a young age and my mum has it as well. I got a medicine which was not on the doping list. However, it didn’t work and we changed the pill. The new medicine had the same name just with a Plus on it, so that‘s why I was not […]
