They sent Platini to have a few words with Real's Pres. But I agree with you. At least considering the decline of Italian, French and German soccer, the Galacticos have set a new standard that hopefully other countries will strive to meet. Real won't make mistakes, Ronaldo and Kakà are consistent and can save games singlehandedly. FIFA doesn’t like the “unfair advantage” the Galacticos now have economically.

Good for football? No. Allowing one team to compete on a playing field unlevel to that which every other team plays on (ie. you service your debts or you're in bother) is not good for the game in any way. It's effectively state interference in the running of the game. It'll be funny when it fails.
