Who benefited from World Cup?
World Cup 2006 is over. Wasn't it supposed to be Brazil holding the most coveted trophy in football? The mathematics geniuses predictions were all wrong. France did not win. Italy broke the mathematicians theory this time.
There's no more late night sleep. No more waking up in the wee hours of the night. No more moody feeling while at work. And have you noticed the brownish (or even worst, bluish) eye-bag under your colleagues eye has dissappeared too?
The fans now look forward to the start of leagues again. Ever wondered why these footballers were being trained so much and apparently appeared so eager to win tournaments? In addition to playing for pride of countries, some of the players make a few more coins to kick the ball around in World Cup. Here's a list of the top 20 highest paid players. The amount includes the club salaries and endorsements.
1 Ronaldinho (Barcelona) £32.6m
2 David Beckham (Real Madrid) £31.2m
3 Wayne Rooney (Manchester United) £30.4m
4 Samuel Eto’o (Barcelona) £21.3m
5 Lionel Messi (Barcelona) £21.1m
6 Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Juventus) £20.9m
7 Ronaldo (Real Madrid) £20.4m
8 Frank Lampard (Chelsea) £20m
9 Thierry Henry (Arsenal) £19.95m
10 Michael Ballack (Bayern Munich) £19.9m
11 Steven Gerrard (Liverpool) £19.2m
12 Raul (Real Madrid) £18.9m
13 Zinedine Zidane (Real Madrid) £18.8m
14 Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United) £18.6m
15 Didier Drogba (Chelsea) £18.3m
16 Alessandro Del Piero (Juventus) £12.9m
17 Ryan Babel (Ajax Amsterdam) £12.6m
18 Ruud van Nistelrooy (Manchester United) £12.1m
19 Lukas Podolski (Cologne) £11.3m
20 Andriy Shevchenko (AC Milan) £9.9m
Apart from advertisements, football apparels, match tickets, countries hosting the games and other indirect income from football, who do you think claimed a small share from the most popular game in the world? The bookies. Yes, they are the ones that provide a bit of extra excitement for gamblers. Although being illegal in Brunei, there is no stopping for bookies from operating. And to catch these offenders is not difficult too. It's just a matter of whether or not the authorities want to do it.
The gamblers who loses could be burning a hole in their pocket or even their accounts. But put it in another view, the winner could have contributed in the market from more consumer spendings.
