Team Europe gewinnt Mosconi Cup 2015 mit 11-7. MVP der Veranstaltung wurde Niels Feijen (NED). Wie in jedem Dezember warten alle Pool Billard Fans auf das absolute Highlight des Jahres. Der 2015 PartyPoker Mosconi Cup verspricht auch in diesem Jahr erneut alles in den Schatten zu stellen. Vom 07. – 10. Dezember 2015 werden in Las Vegas bei der 22. Ausgabe des Mosconi Cup die Teams aus den USA und Europa bei dieser Matchroom Sport Veranstaltung für ein außergewöhnliches Spektakel sorgen. Zugegeben, in letzten Jahren war der Mosconi Cup relativ einseitig und wurde sehr von den Europäern dominiert. Team Europa gewann die letzten fünf Begegnungen relativ deutlich. Der Mosconi Cup 2014 wurde von Team Europa mit 11-5 gewonnen und viele sind der Meinung, dass die Veranstaltung vom letzten Jahr ein wenig leblos war und auch das spielerische Niveau war nicht das Beste. Nun, die Amerikaner waren im letzten Jahr kaum in der Lage mit Ihrem Team, das aus zwei Rookies bestand, dagegenzuhalten. Allerdings muss man sagen das der Auftritt der etablierten US-Spieler die eigentlich größere […]
