Well done to the Europena Ryder Cup team - I don't want this to dwarf the article below about the late, great Clougie but as a golfer....nay....as a a sports fan this was a superb victory, on a par with winning a world cup in footie. If Tone and gang can't get the "Euro" spirit into the people then this certainly came close. In my "anti-Europe" local, where I bang a very lonely pro-Europe drum, everyone was gripped and cheering the guys on. Apparently it wasn't big news in the US, but that's because of the fact that
a.)they lost,
b.)it wasn't a competition between only US citizens and...
c.)it involved a little place they barely know exists (that'd be Europe then!)
Sweetest moment was Monty, who after years of putting up with the hate mob and their purile (but slightly funny) Mrs Doubtfire gags, and after a traumatic year personally was the one to hit the winning putt and in doing so shove a large one right up America's pipe, Later, GrocerJack

The main reason we won was that we played as team, something the Americans can't do due to over onflated egos. Tiger woods weas only worried about winning his match and not the competition. We were prepared to put our trust in rookies and they repaid that trust, As Darren Clarke said in the press 'it doesn't matter who put the points on the board as long as their there.
I can just hear Hal Sutton saying that, but at least he had the grace to admit the US were just outplayed.
