Agh fuck it. C'mon Wales!

So Messi got a 21 month prison sentence today for tax fraud, but probably won't spend a day in prison?
Just another day in Barcelona.

Well I'm guessing he provided proof of some kind? If he did, hopefully get's prosecuted for animal cruelty.

Not that it would have made much of a difference, other than seeing how many had the balls to stand up for their convictions (it's normally not alot)... but it looks like their won't actually be a vote in parliament after-all.

Oh, I didn't think you'd be serious... why don't you just say the above instead of shutting out our American friends?
You can scroll back a few pages to find out why.

This is the most I've watched BBC News in such a long time.
The spectre of the Iraq War and Blair's obsession with standing side by side with the Americans is all over it and alot of those politicians that voted for this are all still in power today.
The chain events afterwards and the destabilization of the middle east. I just don't get why Blair/Bush are the only ones held accountable, they have made the decisions, but what about the people who voted for this that are still there today?

Considering the inquiry today, Blair wanting a second referendum isn't going to help.

Every team has a number, you can't win them all. Football isn't that predictable.

It's actually not that common for the favorites to win. Weren't France/Spain doing the back-to-back (World-Euro) tournaments the only real times it's happened in my life-time?
That's why I'm not convinced Germany will win. France haven't really done anything besides hammer Iceland (and normally they would have been expected to do so anyway) and don't have their best striker or defender there for 2 very different reasons.
Wales haven't really done anything other than beat Belgium (and prove the FIFA rankings are a bit silly). Bale is a big game player however.
Ronaldo though I have a feeling will get his goal to equal the record and see this as something he can get over Messi who's international legacy is defeats in finals.
