Instead of having the cup as an exhibition with set payouts for each team whether they win or lose, have it set up as a TPA tourney and you'd have a clear TPA singles and doubles champion. This way the cup itself would just be a bonus and there'd be real incentive for Team America to put in some real practice/focus on the specific event and even if they are down as a team they still have individual incentive to perform til the end. If this type of format wouldn't start to balance things out then nothing else could. If you you are an elite player on a historically terrible team you shouldn't be punished for that as an individual financially! The main issues are overall team chemistry and how the bottom 2 - 3 players perform, this type of format could remedy half of those issues in 2 - 3 years. Europe would still be a favorite but only on a team basis, not individual.

Forget about 'team'. I'm more entertained by the notion of 'sport'....lol

I like our chances in match #11. I make Shane a slight favorite. If the other matches go according to form the score would be 9-2 at that point in time. Then Matchroom/Sky could cancel match 12 and we could start talking about a miracle comeback on Day Four. I'm sorry to be so blunt but there is a better chance of this happening than USA winning the day 3 or 4 to 1. My prediction, 11-3 final score.
