Archer said: "We've had momentum go our way and we've all played a little better today. We want to win. It's taken us three days to come together and to be honest we've just not come together before now."But I think our rookies are getting a lot more comfortable. The European team didn't play their game, unlike the last three days. All we can do is our best and hope the score is on our side."USA had won the first two matches of the session and were hoping for more glory in the last encounter of Sunday afternoon.David Alcaide gave Europe a good start by sealing the opening rack but a foul from Mika Immonen in the second presented the USA by ball in hand and they made the score 1-1 before they moved ahead as Davis sealed the next.Europe were now making mistakes that had not been seen in the previous days and an error from Souquet, who had won all of his singles, doubles and triples matches, gave the Americans another chance.The Kaiser missed his attempt at the blue two and also scratched to give USA ball in hand and they took full advantage to move to 3-1 ahead.It was proving to be a terrible session for the Europeans and America get the best of a lengthy safety exchange for a 4-1 lead.Europe broke in the sixth and would have been hoping to run out the rack but were left hooked off of the break and Souquet then left a shot at the 1-ball. That mistake was capitalised on and Mike Davis dispatched the 9-ball to give his side a 5-1 as they moved to the hill.America had the break in the seventh and were expected to seal the victory. When Johnny Archer pocketed the 1-ball and the 4-ball and gave Rodney Morris a shot at the 2-ball it became a formality that the USA completed with Morris sinking the 9-ball.Despite the poor session, Souquet remained confident of a European overall win. He said: "We're going to have a nice dinner and talk about what went wrong. We played horribly but that's how it is in 9-ball pool."Sometimes you have to deal with that and it's still an open race. There's six more matches to go and we will see what happens. For some reason we did everything wrong that we could do. We didn't really do anything differently to the other three days but played crucial mistakes."
