at 8:06 wouldnt it be easier and higher percentage to shoot the ball n the bottom left corner instead of playing the combo? jus lookin for some opinions.

@08SCOOTER i also didnt play the combo

@vafidis1988 sorry to burst your bubbles but i know how to play this game and im a grown boy already. efren is a great player, but he had to cheat (mainly shark) to win, otherwise he would stand NO CHANCE against the more profissional and deserving Earl Strickland, the best player in the world of those times

[vafidis1988]

@dfd390 i will not speak with you anymore... you are absolutely an 15 years old child and you are watching the things only from the one side so go for cycling with your friends and leave us alone...

@vafidis1988 lol i dont see anything magic in sharking and cheating

[vafidis1988]

@08SCOOTER yes but that's what we call him the "magician"..... :P

@Maincontrol999

definately did not foul... watch carefully and you see the 5 move before the cue ball stricks the rail

You know, as much of a crybaby bitch as Earl was being about that legal safety at 4:21, he came back with another great safety... it wouldn't have mattered had he had ball in hand in that case anyway the 5 ball wasn't going to be pocketed anywhere.. he made out with best case scenario in that situation but had to cry about something because he's Earl the girl....

@arnelsc - correction, i replayed the shot over and over again on full screen.  after the first rail, the cue made contact with the frozen 5 first then the rail again. it's a tough call for any official. luckily, this time it's correct.

[arnelsc]

the 5 by efren was a foul. efren had a same call against him on the first day. horrible officiating. when bringing players at this caliber into your venue, get an equally reputation pro to ref the game - buddy hall, mccready and grady.

@08SCOOTER I think there was fairly high risk of not getting shape on the 6 playing it the way you describe. Good chance of the 9 interfering, keeping the cue below the 6... IMO.
