Massey Looks so uncomfortable cuing …. so useless at positioning I do not care what a brilliant Champion he was He plays a boring Game Snooker players have Class and style at Cuing ….
HTF has Massey made a career in this sport. His stance is truly awful. "USA legend"??? [Edit] … and WTF was the rule they pulled out of their arse at 39:10?? You can't play the cue ball off the cushion first? What if Ronnie had fully snookered himself? Would the rule still apply??
Feel like Ronnie beat himself here. Winning his first couple of games, then winning the first set so easily, you can sense him become complacent. He then misses several pots after not even checking the potting angle, plays a few loose positional shots, and of course forgets/is ignorant of the rules. Massey was playing badly and had no right to win this.
Ronnie gave him this. This was during Ronnie's drinking days. You can tell how inconsistent he played. Massey is a great guy and a legendary pool player, but not in Ronnie's league. Earl strickland or efren Reyes, in their respective primes, could compete with Ronnie.
A champion snooker player, having only played a couple of 9 ball games, doesn't even bother to learn the rules & beats Earl the Pearl Strickland. What a joke this game is. The guy he plays here has no idea where the cue ball is going & still somehow wins, shows how stupid this game is.
Massey rarely used inside or check, all running English. Pocketing the two in the 4th he used running again and out of position on three, on playing of which he scratched. Had he used inside he so easily could have come back up for three in the bottom right corner. I'm surprised because I'm sure many of Massey's trick shot lessons are about just that kind of use of English
I would like to see all these American Pool players try out snooker for a change! We have smaller pockets, bigger tables, and loads of balls! We should make an invitational series with all the top pool players from the US!
I hate people acting like Americans can't play Snooker..I never liked the game of Snooker but I did used to gamble by playing 9 Ball on a snooker table…

Brilliant Memories here Bring this back Am sure Judd trump one day will become another people’s champion
Pool players on there tiny tables with huge pockets have no chance against a pro snooker player.
Why do pool players hold the cue so far from their face and snooker players right on their chin?
Holy hell, it’s just ads now. YouTube is truly taking the piss.
Is there an echo in here?
what cue is Ronnie holding in the intro ? Looks like a pool cue but he used a snooker cue for pool
Anyone can win playing pool, as was just shown.. let's see the US team play snooker against a European team..

God look at the tilt on the lags

LOVE RONNIE !!!! X
WHERES JUDD????
EXACTLY !!!!!! WHOPPER&
шо се гуи саунда бе мен
i cannot understand anything the british commentator is saying
Who would like to see Ronnie play a mosconni now in 2021
Looks like cartman from when he was a hall monitor
Mike Massey reminds me of a slightly thinner Orson Welles in this
When you are used to playing snooker, pool is so easy.
Anybody else confused by the scoring structure during the Mosconis Cup?…………….I still dont have a clue.
massey has a horrible stroke, good thing he isnt playing competitively now cause he wouldnt be able to compete with todays shooters.

Funny commentary; great sayings; Canadian Geordie?!
pool aside….the hand touching the hi fives…..seeing from now gives me cringes 😂 it will never be the same 🤭😂

What a effortless ronnie..
Massey is a bum, can shoot something but overall game understanding is so fkn poor for a pro player.

The problem with American commentators is that they CAN'T control the INTONATION or volume of THEIR VOICES!!!!
Quicker than anything that ever left Cape Canaveral….
any match with this commentator that yells at the drop of a hat is pure gold.
Play him again on a snooker table
Jesus…Mike's technique is so bad it is painful to watch 🙂
Why turn sound off and on in the beginning
2022 Ronnie has collected over £12 million in his career (= $17 million) in snooker prize money.. so 9 ball was played for fun..
Who's the commentators please?
Is this the Mosconi cup or Apa league night?
The commentators are quite cringe. Being a snooker player, any of those pool shots are potable, especially the ones faced by both.
Good god mike is a big dude
Great match thanks for uploading 😊❤
Ronnie is effortless..
39:07 thats not a foul 😂

Rubbish Pool players wouldn’t qualify for low level snooker tournaments

Leaving chalk all over the place bothers me way more than it Probably should
