Serves them right in my view.

    I like how now Valverde isnt there, they're starting Ruben Plaza!

    So 2 Puerto teams to go this year by the looks of things.

    The state of the Spanish economy won't help much but if I had a few million to drop on a sports sponsorship deal, I'd steer well clear of a team who thought using part of the budget for legal appeals to the CAS.

    Never mind. Paul has said Spain will win the World Cup.

    Luckily there are no Puerto-estas in that team.
