I assume it's because people like to support the underdog and partially in order to keep the cup in Europe.
Personally I can't support any team that shares a sponsor with the Woolwich Pikies.  |

But Ben isn't driving. Or likely to. Thanks to NZ for working him up, he definitely could be one of the best Cup sailors ever, but it doesnt make me want to support them. Luna are a really fun team with some great guys, and the Cup in Italy would be brilliant. And they have the best kit!

Any particular reason why you support the Italian team? After all ETNZ has three Brits in the team including Ben Ainslie, the 2nd helm. The Italian team only has one Brit. |

Yup, i though Spithill did a good job in the start and got off the line first, but ETNZ did seem to have the speed on Luna Rossa today both up and down wind, shame really as i was hoping the final would go to 9 races.

Current score. ETNZ 3 - Luna Rossa 0 Nuf said. If I was Brad I'd be afraid, very afraid. It's a long trip back to Auckland for the rematch!

I think Luna Rossa is on more of a roll than ETNZ so carries more team momentum into the final. However, if ETNZ can break that momentum then it's anyone's game.
