The $233 million salary between the two of them might be worth it after all. The only problem however is that since when does winning games mean more revenue produced. Money is made by advertisers. Ads are placed when something is popular. So in theory Real Madrid is hoping that their undefeatable dream team will produce a strong viewership. The LA Galaxy believed the same thing when they acquired David Beckham, but he’s barely been able to increase soccer’s popularity in the United States. If anything the Seattle Sounders are more popular beacuse of their great XBOX 360 jerseys.

Officials of Man. City like city executive chairman Garry Cook, have taken their disappointment to the press. Cook publicly scorned Kaka’s father for making a bad decision. The deal would have made history books as the highest paid soccer player ever. Kaka will continue to play for AC Milan because the 29 year old is happy there.

Leave the kid alone. Money is not the only factor driving forces in this world. The deal may have been a no brainer for most people. But some others who have values see things differently. More players need to be as devout as Kaka is for his team.

"I would like that a lot," Kaka said in interview in the December issue of the Italian version of GQ, which was posted on the magazine’s website Wednesday. "It’s a difficult road – you have to study theology and deepen your study of the Bible. An evangelical minister reads the Bible and conveys the duties," Kaka said. "It’s not so easy to apply to today’s society things that were written thousands of years ago. But that’s exactly the job of a minister – to make the teaching of the Bible relevant."

Kaka is expected to be awarded the Golden Ball as Europe’s best player on Sunday. The FIFA World Player of the Year title could also be his on Dec. 17.
