Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Fantastic news, this. I hope that the yanks threaten them with 10 years in Gitmo so the little pigs squeal and we can get the big hoss.

Pleasepleaseplease arrest the head of the Spanish FA while you're at it.

Prediction: they will end up with a (financial) slap on the wrist, and promise to never, ever do it again (so obviously).
