    We can expect a comeback of sorts today I suspect, setting up the final day.

    9 of the 12 US players have had 5 weeks off since the Tour Championship.   That's crazy.  You have to play your big players in most matches also and despite beimg out of form, Thomas and Spieth are big players. 

    I fear it'll all but be over for America after the Foursomes this morning....

    Resting, in reality rusting.

    First three American tee shots into the cabbage on the right. Good stuff.

    TBH, I’d prefer the US to have a good day to set up an exciting set of singles. But jeez have they played poorly.

    The most we were ever down at Medina was 6 points.  I think anything more than that is totally undo able.

    As much as I want us to totally smash them, in a weird way I’d like to see them make a bit of a fist of it today to set up tomorrow

    if we only need a point or 2 from the singles it doesn’t make it quite so dramatic

    ….ah sod that, let’s win it today

    Don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, but is Cantlay the most miserable looking golfer ever?

    As a few above have alluded to, I actually would like the US to make a fist of it today. Going into tomorrow needing just a couple of points would be such an anti-climax.

    What would they do if we DID reach the 14.5 today?

    Absolutely no Golf tomorrow?

    The singles carry on once someone has won, or retained, so I assume they play anyway.

    Getting a bit fed up with Sky commentators to be honest. It's all about the US and how they need to just win a hole here or there and they'll come back and can turn it around!
    How about that EU are playing great golf and are not allowing the Yanks to come back in it.
    If this was US commentators they would be lauding the Yanks performance if it was the other way round.
    Now some people want them to fight back on here as well. 
    We were stuffed in the States last time, we are currently stuffing them!
    Why dovwecwant them to fight back FFS!

    A 9&7 win against Scheffler and Koepka would really rub their noses in it.

    Wish the commentators would stop apologising for the occasional sweary.

    How come both teams are wearing similar coloured tops. Surely some discussions go on between the 2 teams ?  Not saying they shoukd play in blue/red every day but both playing in white seems a little odd.

    I think the Nicklaus Jacklin award should go to the entire American team for so sportingly not turning up.

    Anything is better than the European tops from yesterday with the sweat patches.

    9&7 it is. I wonder if we'll see either of those Americans this afternoon, certainly not Koepka.
