Both sides have plenty of guts Mystic ... but not alot of luck in the fickle Valencia winds. Ernesto B (Italian billionaire sailing on a Swiss boat and under a swiss flag ... are there ANY actual swiss on board???) chose the right place to hold the Cup. Lol! We may not win, ultimately, but we have given them their best competition for awhile. At least its not been boring!
Meanwhile the Swiss are still at home, landlocked, and making the choc for all the non-swiss sailing on Ernesto's yacht. Including all our exported Kiwi boys. LMAO!
It does appear to be a multinational championship doesn't it? Even the Olymics has multinational leanings. We have kids from Nigeria/Kenya running for the USA because they go to school here. We have Americans returning to their homelands to compete because they couldn't make the American Team..What is really right? Change the rules so you can win? I don't think so...Lets just say it is a SWISS SPONSORED TEAM. You can have foreign nationals on your team but not making up the entire team...otherwise you are just buying the best team...Look at American Soccor (Fotball)..Not many Americans on the pro teams. American Football on the other hand is an American Sport, American Baseball is Changing to Hispanic, American Basketball is not pure so to speak...What is the answer...%%%%% at least 51% native born to be called a National Team? Otherwise it is Sponsored Baseball, Sponsored Football Teams.
I've stated a bit more about my personal opinion on my blog Mystic ... but you sum it up for me when you say "change the rules just so you can win" ... or at least stack the odds in your favour.
that is so exactly what went down once Ernesto Bertarelli got hold of the cup.
Not the original intent of the A's Cup methinks!
