Spain might be in deep EURO 2008 trouble. The squad has been warned by UEFA that they could be thrown out of the competition if the Spanich government tries to interfere in the elections of the Spanish FA (says the BBC). In case such thing occurs, the Spanish would give place to Northern Irelando to enter the competition. Something sad to see happening. Spain had an amazing qualifier campaign and I do hope they can still stay in.

“Uefa and Fifa deal with these sort of issues very seriously. These are no empty threats - we will back them up,” said Uefa spokesman William Gaillard.

“It is similar to 1992 when Yugoslavia was suspended and Denmark, who finished second in the group, came in,” added Gaillard.

Let’s hope the Spanish government keeps their noses of the country’s FA.
