Sport is after all entertainment. For a while, tennis had a thing called the Wightman Cup, GB v the USA ladies, and it was competitive up until Sue Barker and Ginny Wade were going, then fizzled out.
If they'd taken the hint from the golfers and made it Europe v USA, I reckon it would be still be going now (as the men's and women's golf ones are on that basis).
Are there enough "representative" matches like these? I reckon people love them. Northern hemisphere v Southern in rugby, maybe? Europe v the World XI in football?
