Los Cojones Championes (Mexican Championship)
Henman loses in quarter finals
Berlin Convention
Aha, lets have a read:
Hang on a minute- paragraph 3, clause 2- "This Convention shall only be applicable in the event of air passing through the transfer window"
Now, didn't Dr. Vibenstein close the transfer window? Therefore blocking the air, and allowing the move?
