SWISS wins AMERICAS CUP !

And it's not a joke !


swissinfo.org...

Not bad for a small country lost in the alps and where the only water place is the lake leman !

Have to admit, that is pretty impressive for a team from a country that is "landlocked".

Crap.
They didn't win it they BOUGHT it.

They bought the best sailors from the last NZ team, and the best deisgners. The final race had 7 people on their boat, 5 of whom were NZers.

Its nothing to do with Switzerland, and everything to do with the power of money.

I'm happy for those chaps, excellence can be found anywhere.

Eh, go swiss, I guess. Nice job with your victory. Least it wasn't the french. No big loss. i mean, we've lost elsewhere, haven't we?

Signing off,
HLW



EDIT: Heh, realized this wasn't one of Nans' "america sucks" posts. Sorry.

That cup needs to go back to australia.


First the new zealand skipper defects.

And then the mast breaks on the new zealand boat.

Its like watching a re-run of the 3-stooges.

Hell i'm still laughing.

Yeah NC posted here before me

Stupid Swiss bought all the New Zealand sailors, that's why THEY have it

This is about as bad as Kenya taking the gold in Down Hill Skiing with bought American Citizens.

...yeah...NZ Victory either way

...though the official NZ boat got blitzed 5 and 0...and the mast broke...oh well, at least it didn't break in half and sink though...

You mean to tell us it did NOT break in half and sink?

Those lazy bums, I told them give us 115% .... 115%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

alien.


Nice one.


I couldn't beleive it when the aussie boat split in two.

What a joke.

This is the first step to Swiss world domination!!

Next it will be massive Swiss Army Knives marching down the mainstreet somewhere near you!!

the Swiss were good this year !! I have read that all project cost from 70 to 90 million dolars...a lo t of $

Wow, I wasn't aware that the Swiss team was almost entirely made up of NZers. I guess its not like the Olympics where you represent the team depending on your citizenship.
