Oh Yeah!
Yes I know the America's Cup is a playground for rich boy's toys. Yes it is a huge waste of money. Yes there are more Kiwis on the Yank boat than the NZ one.
BUT
When the Yank media proclaim the Loius Vuitton series a one-horse race after Round 1, when I wake up this morning and find little ol' NZ gave Oracle the full 6 inches up the rear - or 94 seconds, take your pick, in the words of Frankie Stevens (NZ Idol) ....
Oh Yeah!
94 seconds is a thrashing. About the same as a 92-3 scoreline in rugby. There ain't nothing I like better than seeing Americans failing in sport when their public expect them to win (which is why I love the World Basketball Champs) - except maybe a Crusaders loss in the weekend.

Robz,
Team Emirates NZ only beat Oracle in yesterday's race / flight due to an "outstanding performance" by their Weatherman.
An early candidate for a Hallberg award I say.
