Who do you think will outperform against expectations?

By that I don't mean outperform against ability but rather what we may expect from them in this tournament i.e I already expect miracles and magic from the likes of Poulter & Rory so to go beyond that is a tough task

Victor Dubuisson is my shout for greatness along with Jordan Spieth for t'other side
 
I got a feeling poults may of peaked and put too much pressure on him self. Good call with speith he's under the radar at the moment but is so consistently good. I think Donaldson will be good for us.

I agree with what you said about Poults. Happy to be proved wrong, but I think his form is poor in the lead up (and yes I know it's not been great going into previous ones but he's not been challenging for any tournament for a long time) and he may be trying too hard to come across as some kind of saviour or messiah. When he's just a naughty boy.

To be honest I don't think there will be any one stand out performance but will be a good solid team effort. And US will win. ;)

Poults was pretty poor yesterday off the tee. I know the actual match days are different but if he can't find a way to get it in play then you can't score with that rough.

I think some Americans will come good and that leads into my predictions they will win this one. Happy to be proved wrong though
 
Jamie Donaldson is brimming with confidence at the moment and has had a successful time in the competitions that he has played in the USA this year as well as in Europe.
 
Fowler and Speith could be a formidable pairing for the US and I'd expect Mickleson and Bradley to be paired.
I expect Rory to do what he's been doing most if the season other than that no one is really standing for me. I sure one or two will shine over the 3 days but right now Its hard to say who.

He's been blowing it quite a lot over the last week but I expect Poulter to loose his Trumpet and also his Postman Tag.

Hahaha he's not playing that bad (joke :D) it's weird they are getting battered. He just needs that one shot to get that spark going but 6 down ouch. I think back nine Gallagher will settle down as you can see he's nervous as fook but saying that who wouldn't be. I would of soiled my pants about 12 times by now and ran out of balls.
 
Dubuisson and Donaldson are going to come good for Europe. Dubuisson has looked so good this afternoon, completely at ease, no nerves, and a bloke with a short-game like his could be so important in a competition like the Ryder Cup. Won't be long till he's winning majors either, the bloke is ridiculously talented.
