They were classmates and knew each other since they were 13. Now, the historic pair made history. A tandem forged and aged through the years. What a match to watch i enjoyed every bump, draw, kick, cut and rail of balls!
Southeast asian are 3rd world country but we are strong in world stage like sports,thanks for the support bro we really appreciate with a heart or puso
As they always say, "if you want to be the best, you have to beat the best". This is exactly what these two Filipinos did when they beat the top seeded teams in the tournament, including the defending champion Spain right in the very first round.
they were underrated and placed out of the top 16 in this tourney but they emerge as the champion, they pulverized highly rated teams of spain, chinese taipei, austria and germany. Filipinos from around the world were so happy for the both of you. Congratulations..
From an American, congratulations to the Philippines and to Aranas and Chua. Well done. Thank you Match Room for bringing all the action to the internet. God, how I love watching billiards, especially when it's played at this level.
The entire series of Team Philippines is a history of TWICES. ✅️ They've not only won against the defending champs, but they defeated Spain twice ✅️ They've managed to survive a gruelling hill-hill matches twice in a row in quarter and semis ✅️ They've beaten Germany in the finals match twice And an only unseeded team to lift the trophy. As what Matchroom Pool said, they really are destined to win. Congrats mga kabayan! ❤
Joshua lost to Johann twice already. The Philippines' mixed Team (Johann was a team member) several years back beat Germany (where Joshua was a team member) in a semifinal match then went on to win the Mixed Team world championship. Most recently, Johann beat Joshua in the Spanish Open. Not easy to mentally get over 2 losses to the same guy.@@mehulkumar7821

Philippines,, the only country won 4 times in the history of world cup of pool, kudos to the former and present champion ,well done,,proud to be pinoy,
Philippines is now holding the record for having a highest number of winning in World of Pool Cup. As always says "If you want to be the best beat the best". Congratulations 🎉🎉👏👏👏
Really deserving!! What a death lineups they went through. Defending champion Spain, Chinese Taipei, Austria & Germany. All were world champions & seeded teams but in the end unseeded PHILIPPINES PREVAILED 🎉🔥 CONGRATULATIONS JOHANN AND JAMES.
Sana maging ganito ang teamwork nating mga Pinoy. Walang hilahan pababa. Kudos to our billiard champion. You made all Filipinos here and all over the world for representing our country in the world stage.
Another fabulous production by Matchroom as always. Pretty awesome to see how happy they are and how much it means to them getting this win. I understand it’s monumental for ANY team, but it just feels like a fraction more massive knowing how far 30k each will go in their homeland. Congratulations Philippines 🇵🇭 Congratulations Germany
I think this is the start of something new and beautiful! There is so much young talent in the Phillipines and they aren't as well known to the international stage like Aranas, Pagulayan, Bustamante, Biado, or Dennis Orcollo. No there are newer younger players that are playing perfect pool at home but don't have the money to travel. This is going to bring more tournaments to the Phillipines and allow some new talent to make their way up in the world rankings! Trust me, the world's best have to be afraid of this new younger generation emerging from the Phillipines. This is only the beginning.
What an amazing shot on the 7 ball by chua in that last rack. That's the winning shot!! Congrats to both of you guys. Keep it up!! Mabuhay Ang Pilipinas 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭👏👏👏
Johann and James, best bet of PH to take this cup again next time. Really proud of your journey, you two. Dugong pinoy talaga kayo, mandirigma. Naitumba nyo lahat ng previous champs.
And the Philippines once again proved to be the superior of billiard pool in the world.. what a game... Congratulations to J. CHUA and J. ARANAS for bagging the championship.. fantastic tandem..🤗🤗
That 7 ball pocketed by Johann Chua (30:08) in the 18th rack was the dagger in the heart. Congratulations Team Philippines for winning the championship for the 4th time.
@@cristiano7ronaldoTHEGOAT Anong nakakahiya maging proud sa achievement ng kababayan mo? Hindi ba mas maganda kesa doon sa mga nang alipusta pa instead na magdiwang?
They deserved this win more than any other country competing. They were ice cold against all the competition, making critical shots and running out when they had to.
Congrats to all winners!! Both teams played great pool but the Philippines just had the chance to advance the games. Huge Congrats to my pare Philippino boys!! See you on the next WC!!
With such a deep reservoir of young and equally skillful pool players, some of whom have yet to see action in the world stage, the Philippines will continue to be a force .to reckon with in the World Cup of Pool and other similar tournaments in the ensuing years. Congratulations to 2023 WC of Pool Champions, Johann Chua and James Aranas for a job well done!!
CHAMPIONS ONCE AGAIN! CONGRATULATIONS BOTH OF YOU GUYS ITS JUST AN AMAZING RUN. BEATING THE LIKES OF SPAIN,TAIPEI,AUSTRIA,AND GERMANY WAS JUST ABSOLUTELY HARD. MANDIRIGMANG PINOY!!!
When you believe in yourself, train hard and become the highest version of yourself, you will get what you want in life! SALUTE TO YOU PHILIPPINES FOR YOUR FOURTH TIME WINNING THIS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!
Congrats to JJ Chua and Aranas for bringing the pool championship back to our country....deserved....the whole billiard communities all over the Philippines salute to both of you....
Can you PLEASE have the Filipinos join the USA in Mosconi Cup? We have one great player, SVB, a good player Woodward, and some 60 something guys (the great Earl "The Pearl" Strickland, and Jeremy Jones).

Congratulations Team Philippines for giving our country its 4th championship. Thank you for the sponsors and Matchroom for inviting our Philippine team❤🎉
I've been living in Spain for over four decades but it is NOT common to find billiard halls in any town or district. It's non-existent. I'm surprised that it's hosting the World ¨Cup of Pool when it's a sport that is NOT common or popular. Still, it's nice to see Spain hosting it. Congratulations to the Philippines!!!
These two guys beat all previous champions, starting with Spain, Taiwan, Austria and Germany. they showed they are the best this year.

Hell yeah! J and J pulverized them and made their favorite snack pulboron
