As an Englishman i can't work it out , you guys have got the best players in the world , where do you think it goes wrong for the US team at the Ryder Cup?
Obviously team spirit is a huge part of Europe's success. Like Verplank said after today's round, the European team is a lot more loose and appear to have more fun. The US players have difficulty making the transition to play in a team like atmosphere from their intense competitive nature on the PGA Tour.
I think it has more to do with the world rankings. For some reason the Euros are not being given credit for being as good as they are.
I tend to agree with you. The world rankings have always flattered the USA team, because the biggest points are available on the PGA tour, and all the American players play on that tour. Europe's rankings are better than they used to be because more of their players now play more PGA events, but many are still under-rated because they mostly play in Europe. Just look at players like Karlsson and Stenson, and from the past Jiminez and Levet. Ask Tiger Woods about a journeyman like Costantino Rocca !

Well, because...umm...we don't have the best players in the world anymore.
