World Cup Pay-Outs

Chelsea and Liverpool benefit from FIFA World Cup payments / Football Trade Directory / From premier league to grass roots

I remember seeing a list stating we had the second or joint third most players featuring at the World Cup, with Barcelona being first.

Now none of Chelsea's players from what I can think of, got past the group stages, just like us. The only ones were Ghana and Brazil, but Essien was not present in the tournament, and Ramires wasn't registered to Chelsea.

So with more players that got to the same stage, should we not have received more money, or I am just missing something?

the only thing i can think of is getting bonuses for your teams winning and if the players scored or assisted on goals and whatnot.

I suppose Liverpool will be really grateful for that cash, considering Torres has reappeared a shell of his former self, and apparently Reina has one of the worst save records this season!

If Croatia and Russia had qualified for 2010, we would have been either joint 1st with Barca, or first out-right.
