Sorry to all if this leads to flames, it's just something I feel strongly about:
Kick Spain out of World Cup 2006.
=and=
Kick Spanish club sides out of European competition.
It sounds harsh, but something really stern has to be done to stop this problem. The Spanish are not the only violators, not by any means, but the level of racism they've shown, and in particular those at the Bernabeau, is ridiculous.
A ban on all club sides seems almost too harsh, and perhaps it is, but keep in mind how whole nations have been punished before for a minorities' actions. {England/Liverpool in the 1980's}
At the very least, Madrid have to be taken out. It was their fans in the England game and it was their fans against Leverkusen.
As to Spain, you have to give out something hard to keep it from happening again. It's a disgrace to the whole world of football, it must be stamped out. If you keep them out of the World Cup, it sends a message to these racists that we don't tolerate this in our game.
Kick racism out of football.
