CHASKA, Minn. http://www.jordan1uk.com/338145-061-2008-air-jordan-1-retro-phat-low-black-varsity-red-white.html . --?Mark James played in the Ryder Cup seven times and captained the European side at Brookline in 1999. Here, the honorary life member of the European Tour gives his views on the 41st edition of the contest in Minnesota.Lee Westwood had a really bad time on Friday morning and there is a fair bit of pressure for him now to play well when he next gets a chance.He didnt just lose in the foursomes with Thomas Pieters, he looked unimpressive and out of sorts. I didnt see any part of his game that looked good.As a pairing it didnt come off and they failed to win a single hole, losing 5 and 4. But Lee was big enough to tell European captain Darren Clarke that his form meant he didnt warrant a place in the team in the afternoon, and that he wanted to hit some more on his own the next morning.He put some work in with his coach, Pete Cowen, on the range on Friday afternoon and he will have been stripping things back to basics with the hope of playing on Saturday afternoon.Lees performance hasnt taken away any of the question marks there were over him before this edition of the competition got underway, thats for certain; the doubts there were about him being in a position to play at his best here.Hes 43 years old and you do very well to play Ryder Cup at that age. If this is to be his last one, he would want so badly to at least go out winning a singles match and finishing with a win. That will be massively important for him.So he will be telling himself its just one session -- anyone can have a bad day and be good the next. Hes experienced enough to shut out all the pressure and the stuff that goes on outside the Ryder Cup and concentrate on playing well next time out.Its fair to say Lee would have had to be really disappointed to drop out of two sessions, but it is a measure of what a team player he is that he volunteered to do that for the good of the European cause.For me, he doesnt need to prove anything as a Ryder Cup player after all that he has done. Hes played in seven winning teams and this is his 10th appearance in the competition.At least he will have taken something from the positive mood there would have been in the European team room at the end of the day.They will have been thinking they did really well to get back to 5-3. After the 4-0 whitewash in the morning, coming back like that was incredible.A bad afternoon would have meant the match was completely over for them. But Darren [Clarke] gave them a good talking-to at lunchtime and they came out with renewed vigour, and played some pretty good golf.There is everything to play for now but Europe really have to keep the hammer down in the foursomes on Saturday.They will have to be at their best against a very good American side because if the U.S. are given an inch, they will take a couple of miles.Mark James was talking to Leo Spall http://www.jordan1uk.com/332550-151-air-jordan-1-retro-high-white-purple-a01011.html . Barcelonas entertaining victory ensured the defending Spanish champions retained their share of the league lead with Atletico Madrid two rounds ahead of their meeting in the capital. Real Madrid needed a late goal by substitute Jese Rodriguez to earn a 3-2 victory at Valencia to stay in third place and three points behind its title rivals. http://www.jordan1uk.com/authentic-414571-003-air-jordan-13-retro-black-infrared-23-black-men-women-gs-youth-girls.html .C. United of Major League Soccer. United chose the defender in the second round of the 2013 MLS re-entry draft. http://www.jordan1uk.com/315767-001-air-jordan-retro-3-black-flip-black-metallic-silver-a03013.html . Their 38th instalment is arguably their biggest fight card to date, including three-title fights and a main event which was selected by the fans. The promotion boasts 14-straight years of business and is operated by MFC president Mark Pavelich, who is often overlooked in this country for the foundation hes established for MMA in Canada. SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Hes very fast, very young and very confident. He races on the limit, upsets other drivers and cares little when he does. Hes also great for Formula One.Max Verstappen may not be winning many friends among other drivers -- especially those from Ferrari -- but his aggressive, unapologetic, fearless driving is wonderfully entertaining for fans.The 18-year-old Dutchman is the youngest to win a race and to start from the front row of the grid, and hes also just what F1 needs in an era of fading former champions.Fernando Alonso, Kimi Raikkonen and Jenson Button are all in their mid-30s. Although three-time champion Lewis Hamilton is clearly very much on top of his game, and his Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg is highly competitive, both drivers are 31.Verstappens star factor drew more than 20,000 Dutch fans to the Belgian Grand Prix last weekend. Legions of orange-clad fans queued at the entry gates. Dutch flags were dotted around the Spa grandstands.He is refreshing for me. He is a young boy that I like a lot, Mercedes head of motorsport Toto Wolff said. He comes in here, no fear, no respect. He puts the elbow out and it reminds me of the great ones. It reminds me of Lewis and it reminds me of Ayrton Senna.High praise indeed, from Wolff, who might have added that Verstappen also has some of the brashness that typified seven-time F1 champion Michael Schumacher. Wolff has expressed regret that Mercedes was not able to snap Verstappen up before Toro Rosso did last year.You can clearly see that some guys around are starting to think twice how to overtake him, Wolff said, before adding a note of caution about Verstappens high-risk driving. I just fear that it might end up in the wall heavily one day. For me it is refreshing, but it is danngerous. http://www.jordan1uk.com/402297-001-air-jordan-1-ko-2012-black-varsity-red-white-a01016.html. In May, Verstappen drove brilliantly to win the Spanish GP on his Red Bull debut -- joining from feeder team Toro Rosso after just four races of this season -- and he followed that up with three more podium finishes.At the Belgian GP, his second place in qualifying set another record as the youngest driver ever to start on a front row of the grid.His talent is unquestionable, but his attitude is, and the feeling in F1 circles is that Verstappens tender age means he gets away with things that other drivers do not.The FIA has not penalized him. The only thing that happened was that he was given a hard time in the drivers briefing, Wolff said. Maybe next time he will have an even harder time in the driver briefing.Especially from Raikkonen and his Ferrari teammate Sebastian Vettel.Raikkonen criticized him after last months Hungarian GP and again after the Belgian GP.There was a high-profile tangle between Verstappen and both Ferraris on the first turn on Sunday. Later in the race, Verstappen infuriated Raikkonen with some aggressive blocking moves when the 36-year-old Finn tried to get past him at high speed.Maybe it needs an accident before things get more clear to everybody, Raikkonen said. Hopefully not because it can be bad for somebody, and nobody wants to see something like that happen.Verstappen, however, appears to care little for reputation, does not get pushed around, and his vitriolic words match the intensity of his driving.Blaming Ferrari, he was quoted as telling Dutch TV after Sundays race Im not going to let them past, Id rather force them off the track, reportedly adding in the end Im the victim.
