Ryder Cup

[bloodhound]

it seems that europe is faring somewhat better than the star studded american team

[Dave]

That makes a change. Usually it's the other way around.

[bloodhound]

not really. once the continental europe was added. europe has won 5 times . compared to Americas 4 wins. and they tied once

[Dave]

I was talking about the more generalised area of sport rather than just golf, but it's pleasing that we're doing pretty well. Golf's not really a favourite sport of mine to watch, just too boring.

[bloodhound]

yeah thats the thing. england gave birth to so many modern sports. and they never win anyhing at it.

[Dave]

COME ON TIM!!!

 

etc.

 

I think we need some proper funding behind our sports people.

[bloodhound]

I love the Henmania. and the way it collapses in tears every year.

[Dave]

He'll never win, especially since Federer et al are on such good form atm. They're just in a completely different league.

[bloodhound]

i am quite suprised. henman is 6-3 in tournament play against federer

[jordan]

Hahaha...the Americans have taken the lead in 3 of the 4 pairings and the other one is all square. Looks like a comeback.

[bloodhound]

u never know. wooods and michelson were 5 up i think at one point yesterday. and they still managaed to lose .

[jordan]

Really. I was at school yesterday and didn't manage to catch any of it. Well, Michelson's on the bench today anyway.

 

I just felt the Americans needed a little representation in this European-dominated thread.

Hahaha...the Americans have taken the lead in 3 of the 4 pairings and the other one is all square. Looks like a comeback.
