Earl Strickland. The unluckiest player to have ever played the game. Never makes a mistake and his opponents are always lucky. The easiest player to play with in doubles, just needs cradling like a little newborn baby after each game by the whole American team. What a legend.
@@tgh223 Why so salty? They are bang on. He could be the best player on earth, won everything, the POTUS, president of Mars, leader of the universe... unless you have some basic humility, it counts for nil.
@@twitflash7618 Allison's obviously British, but she lived in the US for a long time and enjoyed a lot of success over there. I can imagine she feels somewhat conflicted as to where her loyalties lie. Anyway, I actually find her commentary balanced and unbiased, to be fair (and I'm a Brit!).
I remember watching back in the days when Skyler was a young kid making his way onto the scene. Incredible journey watching him become an impressive top talent in the world.
30:57 “Thank you Earl. Thank you Earl.” What was Skyler referring to? When Earl bailed him out drilling the 6 ball shooting over the 7 ball at 29:17 ?Just curious.
you really cut away when he gets angry...thats why we watch pool for the PASSION. DONT EVER CENSOR THE RAW EMOTION OF THE GAME EVER AGAIN......AND WHERE IS DESI
@@MrTrollosan it's tragic, but if he lying if I said I'm surprised. I saw the cracks in his foundation forming back in the videos of him circa late 80s. He certainly had a superb 10 years, which is more than most top level professionals. He was still to notch for at least another 6-8. Just to be on that mosconi team at 60 plus is unfathomable. I wish he just got the help he needed, mentally.
He got a bad contact, known as a skid or a kick. The cue ball and object ball stick together a little bit, which leads to a different result than a clean hit. Usually the cue ball jumps a bit and doesn't roll out as far, and the object ball moves away at a shallower angle than it should. It can happen when there's a bit of chalk at the point of contact between the two balls.
I agree that he is sometimes just questionable at the game in terms of skill/focus, but he is still very good at it. The way I see it, he's a whiner and complainer but still continues with the game keeping his head down on it by complaining, I think that's his coping mechanism. (europe fan btw)@@ausargibbs8545
16:46 after Earl blew a shot my 6 year old grandson could have made he told Skyler I wish you would have run it all the way down to the bottom rail. When you miss don't blame it on your teammates. I can't stand him. There is no way that didn't effect Skyler's play. Please ban him from the masconi cup.
Earl is one of the greatest to ever pick up a cue, but at 61, he simply doesn't have what it takes to compete at this level anymore. His attitude certainly doesn't help the team at all. Even Ronnie o'sullivan will be retired by that point... maybe 😂
why are pros breaking with sidesping and the whiteball going to the side cushion? it doesnt seem to pay off most of the time. wouldnt it be easier to break straight from the side?
They’re making new rules with breaking because it’s gotten too easy for pros. In this Mosconi, there’s a box they have to break from, it’s really feint but you can kinda see the lines. Hence why you didn’t see them breaking from the rail like they normally do.
About 2 minutes into the game and Earl is complaining, he always complains or puts his hand up.. has he ever thought the balls are inanimate objects and the player is at fault😂😂😂
I don't think I've ever heard Efren say Good shot! Or Bad shot! When you watch Efren, his eyes hardly ever leave the table. This is a game you can learn to play but the feel of the table you can lose quick
Earl used to be the man back in the day. I watched him in the 90s and he would just run racks. Sadly that guy doesn't exist now and he shouldn't be competeing at this high of level anymore.
Kinda sucks how pool getting more popular has resulted in football crowds. Nobody ever shuts the fuck up and let’s the players focus. A game that should stick to minimal viewers in person.
I guess it’s the only way to garner attention for pool again. Small attention spans in the current era these days. I don’t agree with it but if it’s gets more popularity->funding-> free pool videos… you gotta be for it
@@vishybreh it gets plenty of buzz online tho. It makes the online portion which has to be the majority of its income much less enjoyable for fans like me at least. I watch these to focus myself on the games and how they’re played, and I can’t help but be distracted by the horrid background of ridiculous idiots screaming like it’s a Patriots game.
Earl always has the look of an angry pooper Edit. Jebus. Still watching and after the first game, his head is still on his first botched safety shot🙄 Just stfu man and don’t get into your teammate’s head as well
Am I the only one who thinks that Earl Strickland is one of the most overrated players ever ? I mean, he plays better than the common mortals but he is really inconsistent compared to other pro players and everytime he is shooting I have the tense feeling that he can miss… 😂 (And that has nothing to do with age, I’ve always had the same sensation with him)
Strickland might be a legend. But he's not in his prime anymore!!! US just doesn't have young good pool player that's why Strickland is included in US lineup inspite of his age!!!!
Would’ve been really cool but ultimately just wasn’t in the cards. They gave him a shot twice which i appreciate but it’s time to get the new blood in this year.
He’s a little old bro. That’s all. Look at Reyes. He’s still out there at his 70. Would you say the same about him?? Look at the team USA, only SVB can represent us. Who else, Styler. He’s too busy f***kn Marharyta Fefilava
It’s called euphoria, they are not celebrating a great shot they are just happy they won the match. In an event like Mosconi Cup the feelings are strong
Every time I watch a video of Earl, I can't understand how he is a world class champion

Strickland actually play for EU
Cmon Earl 😂
Earls hilarious
Earl: No Skyler No

I love Earl but he brought so much negative energy to the match
quit crying thats mister earl to u u non playing spectator

What happened with strickland first shot?
When was this match played
I know Earl is a legend of the game and what not, but is there really no one else America can put forth? It’s kinda sad lol
I’m just realizing this a replay I guess lol never mind. The team this year looks good. I’m excited to see how Fedor does!

Earl always crashes the party

Where’s match 8?
Yes! Let’s see SVB and Earl…they must be saving that one for later…
Why is the audio being cut in some spots
Maybe copyright music
I don't think I've ever heard Efren say Good shot! Or Bad shot! When you watch Efren, his eyes hardly ever leave the table. This is a game you can learn to play but the feel of the table you can lose quick
The shot at 37:00 didn't look super difficult to me but the commentary team seemed to be impressed.
Right! I'm a novice and that shot was easy as cake.
16:42. This is the point in the match where Woodward lost the match for the USA. What a terrible leave, don't partner with him again Earl. Unlucky.
Earl used to be the man back in the day. I watched him in the 90s and he would just run racks. Sadly that guy doesn't exist now and he shouldn't be competeing at this high of level anymore.
This crowd man
Lets face it....all these players are aces....none of them really need the group hug after each game
Was hopeful Earl would snap his cue ....
I wish he would smack Filler cross the face with it lmao. Scrawny Filler would just stand there stunned and scared
Strickland is many things....a team player, he isn't!
Love Earl, everything about him. I true Passion only a few have,
Joe rogan needs to commentate the mosconi cup
Have you seen the moose that got hit by a car?

Where are the pinoy
Ok, this is weird, I was thinking {watch them finish with a golden break} and...
I noticed there was only a couple minutes left in the video I said here comes the golden break.
Earl: I wanted it down on the rail.
Me: He gave you an easy shot and you botched it.
Surprised Earl didn't break his cue after the golden break 😂😂🤡
I thought Earl retired.
Passive retirement by secretly playing for the EU xD
He still competes when there are actual tournaments

38:42 He severely under cut that shot! He almost hit the side horn!!
Yeah, I could see it hit the rail just beyond the pocket too. I think the lady just misspoke when she said overcut.
filler and fsr's celebration after getting that golden break to win the set might be one of the most awkward things ive seen in pool

Earl needs to retire .. He missed at least 2 crucial mistakes that doomed the American team.
Earl always has the look of an angry pooper

the voice from the video between the games,cuts out due to van boening???
Hahahaha im crying
The audio cuts out because of the music playing in the stadium to avoid copyright infringement you dolt
I would be crying too if i was this dumb
He had his time. Give chance to younger players. Just like efren. He admit he cannot compete anymore.
the way they tightening these pockets no one playing 100 percent
@tgh223 yeah the pockets to small.
if u wanted to know what our boys were up against on D-Day, just listen to filler scream at the end...
Strickland miss to much even in his prime he miss in every match 🤣
The crowds are so disgusting. 🤮 so much disrespect to the game of pool.
Dang
Earl 😂 should have beer on his home..
He better lay low on this
Sounds like Earl has learned how to keep his mouth shut..........
Earl is a great player no doubt
but he’s getting tire.
Earl should retire now with whatever respect he has felt.
Poor Earl. Seems so conflicted and tortured in his mind :(
EARL doent have what it takes anymore... He should retire!
Team Europe is the best
🥴～這撞球比賽的‘’環境‘’真特殊……🐦🐦🐦
lol so most of the match.
I always liked Earl and his Skill but it seems as he gets older his Skill starting to dwindle just a bit.
that happens to everyone
Earl will NEVER mature. Who hits a cue against the table/floor on a televised game? What a big baby. Talent but immature
Am I the only one who thinks that Earl Strickland is one of the most overrated players ever ?
I mean, he plays better than the common mortals but he is really inconsistent compared to other pro players and everytime he is shooting I have the tense feeling that he can miss… 😂
(And that has nothing to do with age, I’ve always had the same sensation with him)
He's volatile and unstable at times, not the best qualities for a team situation. Better to have a team made of steady quiet grinders.
One miss
Mending turu earl
Strickland is clearly playing on the European side
this male commentator is terrible
Strickland might be a legend. But he's not in his prime anymore!!! US just doesn't have young good pool player that's why Strickland is included in US lineup inspite of his age!!!!
It's always nice watching earl lose.
It’s like playing with your nagging grandpa, why is strickland in the team
So Even Sky have resorted To Woman Commentating on Mens Sport .. Clueless
How crazy you have to be to pick Earl "the girl" Strickland. The worst player to play in the team event. 0 % chance to win with him on board.
Would’ve been really cool but ultimately just wasn’t in the cards. They gave him a shot twice which i appreciate but it’s time to get the new blood in this year.

I literally can't watch him. He's constantly bitching and complaining about something.
Dude needs to retire
Celebrating after a golden break is a little bit childish,there is no effort,just luck !
Not when breaking from the center! Everybody goes for that exact result!
It’s called euphoria, they are not celebrating a great shot they are just happy they won the match. In an event like Mosconi Cup the feelings are strong
He missed the 1 ball in the side, which is what they are all trying for. Then he just got lucky as hell and they'll take it.
Earl needs to retire
