Title: Fantastic Guardian piece on the galacticos Post by: AndrewT on June 16, 2006, 01:20:04 PM I think this is the best piece of journalism I've read about the World Cup so far.

And, on the evidence of Germany so far, in this year's Oxfam-bound binbag are the galacticos and all the bankrupt flatulence they brought to the game.
