Personally I think the Americans cheat! Calling it the America's Cup, means that they win it even when they lose. It's like calling the cricket trophy "The Aussie Ashes" (might as well , come to think of it!) or playing for the "Federer Cup" at Wimbledon. How would you feel about the "Manchester United Superbowl"? Cheers Dave (Yes, I do know the real reason for the name of the Americas Cup)
