        The inside track is that USA have the better players and home advantage which is huge. Hence I would be amazed if Europe won again.

          I wouldn't say they had the better players, but maybe they can get team spirit this year which has been lacking for the past 3 cups.

          Europe should be strong enough to retain the cup, but it will be good watching.

            The world rankings say so.

                Reverse psychology. Probably wasted effort on you though.

                HTH.

                    So who's going to be top points scorer for Europe this year ?

                    Safe bet Harrington or will Mickelson do better without Woodsy ?

                      Indeed, the US team have lost 5 out of six Ryder Cups since Woods started playing in it, the exception being the controversial Brookline match.

                      Before that, they'd only lost about 5 in 70 years.

                      The inside track is that the Tiger Cult has been a pain in the arse for the other US players.

                      Expect USA to flourish without him and win - because they won't keep getting told it all hinges on Tiger, they'll all get a share of the attention, and no-one has to partner Woods and get treated like a sub-human hacker. No more "F*** off out of the way Mickelson, here comes Tiger..."

                      (furthermore, the US are at home, and Faldo could make a complete c*** of the captain's job)

                      So put your house on the US winning it back!
