We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

This probably deserves its own thread:

He won't as it says in the article

"Under the Spanish system, prison terms under two years can be served under probation"

So he'll be able to keep counting jellybeans in jars in an instant at the luxury of home

It's a suspended sentence, no jail time for the autist so it's not really big news

Do the Spanish courts operate as retardedly as the Italian ones where he'll get 2000 appeals? I mean this whole thing really is meaningless anyway, I imagine the state is only pushing it because they've gone this far already.

Rich people do not go to prison for evading tax or committing fraud, anymore. Look at the Wall Street.

In Spain a sentence of less than two years for a first-time offender is suspended

I wonder how they decided on 21 months...

So this makes Messi officially as bad a dude as Al Capone, right?

Worse, actually. But he's also an 'athlete' so he can get away with it.
