Enjoyable & very entertaining to watch. Great sportsmanship from all players.
Nothing wrong with having a beer & a smoke between matches.👍🍻
They look so friendly and a lot of sportsmanship 👍
I remember seeing Machine Gun Lou when I was a kid in the videos that came along with 1995's virtual pool for the PC. Still remember the Canoga Park Curve, blew my mind when I saw him do that the first time. Great to see him in actual match.
What a hell of a memory, ty Man! I Also enjoy virtual pool, ALL of 3s, Black widow, a truly queen.
these are great matches. really grateful to be able to watch them!
you all probably dont care at all but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot the password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Darius Damian instablaster ;)
@Amos Royal Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Amos Royal it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
@Darius Damian No problem :D
love to see snooker legends having fun on pool, thanks for the videos.
i love Alex and jimmy they are just nice I have been watching this match for the past 2 days just by looking at them they are such a nice souls :X:X cheers to them god bless Alex
you are correct
OMGGGG THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More please :) From 1994, and rest of 95.96.97.98.99....... :DDDD Awesome!!!
This is absolute entertainment. Alex & Jimmy, such characters 👍
Dude this guys give a full show, the crowd was different from today, this is amazing!
All of them played like a real machine , look how fun they were , really pressure but also the crowd and players enjoyed it.
Muy diferente a lo que se ve hoy en día, los jugadores con buen rollo y cervezas… disfruto ambos tiempos pero sin duda se mira más fresco!
Outstanding match, great entertainment. ❤️🎱
Mike Massey is such a team player. You can just see the respect between them.
They shared an 8th of coke in the dressing room. They're legends right there .
what a start!!!
RIP Lou Butera. 1937-2015
RIP Alex Higgins. 1949-2010
Thank you for uploading these matches - this was the very first Mosconi Cup that I watched on TV. Would love to see more of the 1995 tournament, and even the 1994 if you have them as I’ve never seen any footage of the very first Mosconi.
They have all from 1994 sure
did europe win it?
@@kashiffarid8175 Yes Europe 16 USA 15
Wow, never saw this one! Great upload 👍
West with a whiskey sour, lol
6 commercials in the first 15 minutes is crazy though
Matchroom have you ever considered a seniors mosconi? Strickland, Archer, Davis, white and others? I think that would be awesome.
Thanks for these older videos though
now thats a seniors event i'd love to see
That's a great idea
In snooker they do it, but instead of calling it "seniors" they call it
Champion of Champions.
@@seancyco9446 thats wrong. Champion of champions is a different thing. They just call it seniors world Championship
Subbed for vintage matches hope you don't disappoint...
Lou Butera is a beast! Omg 😱
The hurricane should've joined the pool circuit after retirement from snooker
Back when Mosconi Cup is Friendly Match Cup
Cigarettes and beer as it should be ha ha. Players having fun in a much friendlier atmosphere than today's game. I enjoy both though.
Yeah, I wonder how many units The Hurricane had in him!??
Mike Massey lending his cue ( again ) to Alex @9:34 . Awesome sporting gesture, nice guy !
to the uploader, how did you know which songs you needed to mute before uploading?
Alex is hammered
Brings back memories enjoying joe
Whirlwind taking a foul on purpose after someone sharked Lou at 21:00 = top bloke
lol no he just feathered by accident he does it all the time .
Definitely feathered it deliberately. You could see how annoyed Jimmy was when he came to the table.
Storm was impeccable in the second match. Truly the best performance in this video, he played immaculate pool with zero errors. Came for Alex and Jimmy, came back for the Storm at the end.😎
Storm did play great. I guess you forgot to mention old timer Dallas West playing near perfect and easily winning.
Listen at 18:07 for Sid Waddel saying, off mike, “You are working your f-cking ticket pal”. LOL.
Class good spot!
Lou Butera is 58 here, he looks like he's about 90.
Back when snooker players would try their hand at pool.
Yeah back when Ronnie shit on pool players
they gave it up when they stopped letting them drink while playing, wouldn't be fair
@@johngormanmusic yeah seen varner shit on the rocket tho.
@@johngormanmusic shit on pool players? Like when he was steamrolled by Johnny Archer?
czcams.com/video/h6ENnDa2CGw/video.html
@@johngormanmusic or when he was easily beaten by Wu Chia-Ching?
czcams.com/video/W2Ye61WiLMk/video.html
Got anymore of the 95 Mosconi?
Europe won in the end, 16 to 15 talk about cutting it close, on the wire as Sid Waddell would say.
Idc what you think, Lou is the quickest player to hit a table. Man single strokes 8 out of 10 pockets and will split the wicket with the best of em.
Beer for Jimmy, Bailey's for Higgins, hundreds of cigarettes. Gotta love it!
3:05 - alex higgens comes out of nowhere
First match was over, and was certain that it woudln't be over that quick when Ditoro was shooting the last ball because the video was so much longer
👏
16:11 That shot was so diffficult, even the camera got a little nervous and shaky. 😅
american Mafia versus European gangsters..what 90's fun!
Awesome how they put it on mute whenever they introduce the players
It’s due to the copyright issues with the music that plays when they enter bud, so silencing the audio makes it less of a problem.
18:07 - Sid at his best lol
Hey, Matchroom. Lou's last name is "Butera". Might want to fix it in the title and description. Thanks.
Darren O'loughlin it says butera in title
It said Batera earlier
Watching this in 2022 and I was taken aback seeing someone smoke indoors lol. How times have changed.
*Alex Died from mainly Throat Cancer in 2010 !* 🚬
where's Alex solo match??
The first break is at 4:53 if you want to skip the professional wrestling style intro.
Como se llama la canción de Alex y Jimmy???
Back when beer before water
Who’s the geordie commentator? Is it the same guy who does la liga?
I must admit I know very little about pool. Great stuff tho .
Lou butera's very entertaining to watch, I wish he would have used his skill in snooker instead
Definitely wasn't enough smoke for Jimmy and Alex's entrance.
To many Ads, what ever happened to 5 sec only Ads?!!
Biggest question I have is why did it take Matchroom zo long to post these video's on CZcams :)
Lou Butera is mustard int he?
I didn't know baileys was called milkshake
How have I not seen Butera before?! My god, she shoots faster than Strickland. Just watch from 11:25!
They forgot to mute the home team
What was Alex Higgins drinking?
I swear I saw John Dorito
4:40 If any of player on these days doing that 🚬, that could be the end of his career.
😂😂😂
Lou « Machine Gun » Butera, not Batera...
So funny how they smoke and drink
This is how it should be, instead of watching Darren Appleton jumping up and down on the pool table like a football hooligan chav. The standard and enjoyment left pool and especially the Mosconi cup years ago
8:35 "Alex's hairdresser takes Sunday off!" Jees weird commentary.
Classic Sid Waddell. Absolute king of the the one liners as far as commentary goes...a legend and sorely missed..
did the americans forget to send a team over that year and have to pick out a couple of duffers out the crowd?
2:44 qué hacía ahí el bicho
Best of 3 sets?
not even a ball hit, and alex has a snout lit
#poolpoetry
Who won the Misconi Cup then? This video doesn't show the finish, how rude. 😮
Look it up on google then you'll get your answer. Pretty simple
Europe won btw
“Prišel je v Derbo in od tam v Listro. Tam je živel učenec z imenom Timótej, sin Judinje, ki je sprejela vero, njegov oče pa je bil Grk. Bratje v Listri in v Ikóniju so imeli o njem zelo dobro mnenje. Pavel ga je hotel vzeti s sabo, zato ga je dal obrezati. To je storil zaradi Judov, ki so živeli v tistih krajih; vsi so namreč vedeli, da je bil njegov oče Grk.”
Apostolska dela 16:1-3 SSP
Jimmy and Alex played horrible! But the good vibes made it enjoyable.
Buckets lol jk
Its like watching a game show with all of the shouting and shit. Sounds so forced......because it is.
Always remember to repent of your sins (sin is transgression of YAHUAH’S LAW: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) And Have Belief On YAHUSHA HAMASHYACH. HE Died and Rose three days later so that you can be forgiven of your sins!
HE Loves you! Come to HIM!🙂🙂🙂🙂
why,do the bugs not eat corpses of those who have sinned.
Those 2 are rinsed, coke must have been rampant back then
still is.. but old school fun is not
Higgins acting like a nice guy when all he really was was a bad drunk
Ahh...Alex was great for the game...a lot better than today's pro football and basketball thugs..humping their guns 🔫
