Top 10 highest earning footballers
Filed under: Entertainment, Celebrity Pockets
Being an international footballer is a tough job. First of all there's the training, which requires you to go to work at least a couple of times a week to kick a ball around, then there's the Saturday game, which involves a grueling working day of a whole 90 minutes.Added to that you have to devote time to finding yourself a suitable WAG, with the requisite number of brain cells and the right kind of tan. And then there's the hours of standing around in your pants for a photo shoot.
It's no wonder they have to pay people a fortune to take on a job like this. But just how much do they have to pay? And who are the world's best-paid footballers?

Utterly obscene, would the world come to an end if we didn't have these overpayed, over indulged sports people? The world cup? 11 millionaires kicking a bag of wind about!
More money in a week than the prime minister in a year!
Then pay nurses £100K and doctors £300K, proper money for people actually doing something for society!

What is the world coming to when we pay these over rated idiots loads of money for just being able to kick a ball!! If it weren’t for that skill most of them would not pass the interview at MacDonald’s and more than likely would be delivering Pizza’s!!
They parade up and down the pitch, spitting (a great roll model I’m sure) and looking mostly like brutish yobs!! Sorry guys you are over paid and over valued. Its about time that we as human beings got our priorities right!!
Some people, around the world, go to sleep at night starving hungry with no clean water to drink and these so called sports people live a life of celebrity/luxury driving posh cars, living in massive houses and generally making an exhibition of themselves.
I don’t have a problem with people that have earned their fortune by giving to industry or society in general but my blood boils when I see that, we as a so called "civilised society", condone this immoral situation!
