EU Flags

The EU flags are important in spanish football. As I've explained only three non-eu citizens can be on a pitch at anytime. Teams get around this by claiming passports from EU countries if they -the players- have ancestry from an Eu country or by nationalising a player after five years which is why some Brazilians have spanish flags e.g Roberto Carlos.

Real Madrid Worldwide fan group

Is it possible to add Real Madrid Worldwide fan site : http://www.realmadrid-club.net to the article page external links ?

Jerzy Dudek shirt number

it says in an interview here: [1] on the real madrid official site that Jerzy Dudek is shirt number 25 so i changed it on the current squad list and his personal page. so by process of elimination, Jordi Codina is number 13. Smithcool

Fascist Santiago Bernabeu

I just reentered the adjective "fascist" I added preceding the name of Santiago Bernabeu Yeste with a reference to Time magazine^[1] on April 16. His fascism is perfectly established and is recognized in Wikipedia's entry Santiago Bernabeu Yeste. I will not enter any war about how to portray Real Madrid's histry. If somebody takes it away agin I will not reestablish it but I do believe it is a mistake to dedicate a whole paragraph to this president and omit this fact.
-Please move this to Santiago Bernabeu's own page as it does not belong on the Real Madrid main-page.

Harvard University study about Real Madrid's followers

"A study at Harvard University concluded that Real Madrid "is one of the 20 most important brand names and the only one in which its executives, the players, are well-known. We have some spectacular figures in regard to worldwide support of the club. There are an estimated 287 million people worldwide who follow Real Madrid."

This part of the text has as reference an article that refers to the study but, besides some other references to the study, I could not find any traces of that study.

In "Finances" section, last sentence of last paragraph has wrong spelling of both 'Manchester Uniter' (missing cap on second word) and 'Arsenal' (spelled 'Arsenel', would be more correct to say 'Arsenal FC'.
