you're a football fan, not a football player, your interpretation of which team is the best, is based on which team you support. if Benzema said his dream was to play for your team, you'll worship him, eh? all the great players in the world who DON'T play for your team is "lousy" aren't they?

real madrid is not the best team .. they're the best because of their so-called 'galacticos' .. if they're without the likes of ronaldo , figo , zidane , robertocarlos .. they're just the same as any other team .. now they've c.ronaldo , kaka , benzema and possibly ribery .. but where do they want to put huntelaar , sneijder , van der vaart , robben , drenthe and the star player that they'd bought before .. they already sold van nistelrooy and cannavaro .. oh what a waste ...
