Let’s just be grateful no team had to sleep on the streets of Moscow with a begging bowl out.

Real Ryder cup 4 balls atmosphere about today

The silver lining is that the british government are boycotting the tournament to get back at the ruskies.
England winning would be a priceless shot in the arm for brexit, but the British prime minister can’t jump on the bandwagon
Imagine the seethe in number 10, sitting in a hump about brexit and unable to join the party.

So did company!

More of a Seve Trophy feeling today given it’s Europe v Europe, but last night truly felt like a momentous Ryder Cup Friday fourballs with our boys swatting the Americans aside.

Europe. Europe. Europe.

That’s a wonderful analogy.

I’ll miss the Engerland game as I’ll be en route to the hurling in Carlow. Wasn’t that bothered about it, but my octogenarian father wanted to go and was going to drive himself. I couldn’t let him do that.

The fire alarm went off in the Swedish teams hotel at 5am. M16 up to their usual tricks.

There seems to be this perception, especially on this forum, that Croatia are done.
I don’t buy it, especially after reading Rakitic’s comments about the team doing it for Modric after the Denmark shoot out.
I think they’ll cruise past Russia tonight, looking bemused at the huffing and puffing from the ruuskies running around like doped up gorillas, while the Croats pass the ball around to each others feet with unnerring accuracy.
They’ll then proceed to demolish the poms or swedes fairly handily.
The final will be a cracking game with Croatia in it.
