    I thought it was an Onion headline. It's not.
    I agree. Real Madrid is a joke.

      Signed him to their youth program. Isn't it typical to sign the kids up at that age in Europe in the pro teams' youth programs? Maybe signing an Argentine in Spain is unusual?

      I read a good NYT article on this in the Netherlands last year.

      But from the article you linked:
      There are mutterings of disgust that Real has signed a player too young for many amusement park rides, but signing young players is old hat in the beautiful game. Earlier this year, VVV Venlo of the Netherlands' top league reportedly signed an 18-month-old to a 10-year-contract. Yes, an 18-month-old.

                The only thing that is unusual is the kid is from Argentina.

                He wasn't signed to a pro-contract or to play in a lower division.

                They are essentially putting him in their development program and he'll play on a club team...like a comp team here in the U.S.

                Big woop.

                          Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

                          There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock
