America's Cup

[jared_7]

4-0. Absolutely clinical.

Burling, one cool cucumber.

[jared_7]

Spithill admitting they've traded stability for speed.

[jared_7]

All Oracle this one.

[jared_7]

Kiwis got it back close but lost the tactical battle, good win for Oracle.

[morepork]

The "americans" get one back. Nice race.

[morepork]

Masterclass.

[jared_7]

A lead across every mark over the two races, just quality sailing and these are now two boats with the same speed.

[morepork]

If they pull it off the government will be handing out passports like jaffas to any "investor" with a boat >20 metres/2 million dollars.

Enjoyed Burling's little wave after he smeckledorfed Oracle in the Race 2 start box.

Well at least the British won the junior version.

Cheers jared.

[morepork]

[Lizard]

Good to have it back.

Dreadful coverage from the Beeb.

Every single article on the BBC Sports website has an image with a combination of the following below it:

Four years ago, New Zealand led USA 8-1 but were eventually beaten 9-8 in one of sport's greatest comebacks

The final is a repeat of the last time the trophy was contested in 2013, when Team USA came from 8-1 down to win 9-8

Then the article itself just has a couple of lines dedicated to the latest race and then goes on about 2013 for the rest of the article.

I appreciate they may not have a reporter out there, but ffs at least make an effort with news on the current event.

I want to know what Clive Woodward thinks.

Don't need a reporter out there, just turn on BT sport!

Oracle should have selected one J. Wilkinson as helmsman.

[J Dory]

All a bit of an anti-climax in the end, just too easy. Interested to see what format the next cup will take. The cat's were fun in the early stages at least.

[Spy]

Bloody ripper. That's a fantastic result. It was only easy because of the remarkable design work by ETNZ on an absolute shoestring budget relative to the bigger teams. This really is a great triumph. NZ, eh! NZ, eh! NZ, eh!

[morepork]

Fuck you Larry Ellison.

Fuck Russel Couts.

[jared_7]

Fuck Russel Couts.

He'll come crawling back now, just watch.

[J Dory]

I just meant the racing wasn't as exciting, no lead changes etc. Awesome result, plus I took a cool $20 off of my US boss.
