The american team is so much better and whilst i appreciate team golf isnt everyone's cup of tea (Tiger being the exception massively) it is still the same sport so based on course preference would expect US to win.

Get the usual brits slagging off thick and rude Americans which is a bit sour. Yes you get idiots but then look at sports fans over here.
Ive come across Americans playing golf and discussing golf and find them much warmer and polite in general than Welsh and English people.

Im not sure why some US players dont take to the ryder cup. Could it be the lack of international competition they have in their own more popular sports. There's no doubt they appear a lot more patriotic to their country but that appears to be forced into them all through their life.

The Olympics aside in which case they just want to prove they are the superior country in the world. Winning the ryder or presidents cup doesnt prove it.
