Due to the war against Ukraine by Russia, many sporting events do not display Russia's or Belarussia's flag. A lot of the times, players are played under "ANA" , which stands for Authorized Neutral Athletes.
See better players than this in the pub in England lol pockets on American tables are huge it’s nearly impossible to miss if you’re half decent at pool lol
You can watch snooker pros playing American pool. They do okay, but they're not on any special level. Gorst would run laps around your pub snooker players.
If they were that good, they would be playing for money on these tours or tournaments. After all, first place prize is a lot more than a round trip from England to the United States. If anything, the prize pays itself for a free vacation. You are either so full of bullshit or you are too drunk at the pub that you saw things.
