America’s Cup champion Alinghi has lost its court battle against rivals BMW Oracle, raising hopes of the reinstatement of the 2009 event.
I hope so, this has been an embarrassment on what is a major sporting spectacle.
Lets move on, and see this decided fairly on the water!

Yet more bad news!
The 2009 America’s Cup in Valencia has been postponed because of a legal row.BMW Oracle Racing and champions Alinghi have been in a dispute over Desafio Espanol’s status as challenger in the prestigious yachting competition.
So, not only have we to wait until 2010 to see England play in an international football tournament (assuming we can qualify!), but now it looks like we won’t even be able to enjoy the spectacle that is the America’s Cup before then either!
This is leaving me feeling rather fed up!
