All gone OK for me except I can't login to the Teamcard site through the app. I can do it by using the url (below) using the exact same username and password that the app won't accept.

Re: Better Today

A much better performance today. Brownhill and Berge, even on one leg, gave us a solid platform. We dominated but lacked quality in the final third. I enjoyed the game and feel more confident about the rest of the season despite the result.

Re: Solheim Cup

Tough assignment for Team Europe currently trailing 7-5. Team golf is a different dynamic and a really enjoyable watch. I don't mind noise at sporting events - players should be sufficiently focussed for it not to bother them but the music on the first is translating on the TV as a din.
