yeah on paper it would appear so, i actually saw them last year when they came here for their preaseason tour. I drove 10 hours to new jersey to see them play the New York Red Bulls at Giants Stadium. They sold out giants stadium 79,000+ you wont see anything like that soccer wise for years. Even Ronaldinho was overshadowed by the 2nd half Lionel Messi show, he was phenominal and he was just 19 at the time, but the crowd erupted into messi chants constantly.

Lionel Messi is an unbelievable talent and that goal proves it. Speaking of great goals; did anybody see Messi's "Hand of God" goal? I cant believe he got away with it.

I did see the "hand of god" goal but maradona got away with it during a world cup game! but this is by far his greatest goal he has scored to date also recreating the most famous maradona goal against england in the world cup which is without question the greatest goal ever scored by anyone. (consenus: the entire world)

What gives you that impression? Real have filled virtually every gap that they had last season, and with young (and except for Drenthe, experienced) talent. They've strengthened much more than Barca have. If (when) they manage to get Robben, and they're able to stay fit, I'll be surprised if they don't win the league by at least 6 or 7 points.
Rijkaard couldn't even could keep Gudjohnsen and Saviola happy when Eto'o and Messi were out. He's going to need some quality escorts and some [censored]in' good weed to keep Henry and Eto'o from crying to the media about not getting enough minutes for 10 months.

I dont think Real has lost that much in comparison to Barca. Yeah they did get a star in Henry but Real also has some great players on their team still, van Nistelrooy, Robinho, Ramos, Cannavaro, Guti, Raul, as well as some very good young players to. Robben will be a very good player too (pending transfer) but it seemed like he was never happy at Chelsea (playing time). When did Real become a haven for the Dutch ?

Real won La Liga in the last day. Raul and Van Nistelrooy are aging. Henry is aging but depth and quality Barca has at striker will make the difference over the course of a season. Eto'o and Ronaldinho are probably 2 of the most dynamic offensive players on the globe. Eto'o is the best finisher active today in my opinion and arguably the best Forward on the planet. Milito is a big pick up.
