I guess I'm trying to understand why you made this thread, you're comparing apples to oranges here.

I thought it was interesting that the NFL brings in more money (i never knew that) and I also thought it was cool to see a list of the teams value in comparison to each other....(lmao at Arizona)

why does this thread offend you or something?

Soccer is considerably more popular than football.

Yep, the world is full of idiots.

Yep, the world is full of idiots.

well...to be fair I wouldn't say they are idiots...they just don't have yet to be properly exposed to football.

In the US we have all played soccer at one point in time....you can't say the same about other countries and football though.

they just need someone to show them the light, that's all.

[go_blue]

soccer is more popular in the world football is the popular sport in the u.s. by far

[Pakalolo]

it has to do with the structure. Germany alone has thousands of soccer clubs. It all starts in th BuLi

Bundesliga->2. Bundesliga->Regionalliga Nord/S

you are so dumb and ignorant it's unbelievable. In Germany everyone who wants to watch American football can do it, it's just that barely anyone wants. Soccer is king, and I doubt that American football will ever increase it's current popularity. It's seen, just like Wrestling as a massively overblown event, and not as a sport.

It's just a cultural thing. I tried several times to watch a NFL game, but couldn't stand all the brakes. To each his own, and more often than not this means soccer.

[20 Dimes A Game]

But neither make as much as NBA refs.....

[thekavorka]

no **** that the top 20 nfl teams make more than the top 20 soccer teams.

The whole point about soccer is that there are literally HUNDREDS of teams. Compare the revenue generated by the NFL, CFL, etc to all of the soccer teams in the world.

[DeuceWallaces]

Yeah, there is a huge distortion here. ALl interest in football and revenue for that matter is focused on 30 teams where as there are hundreds and hundreds of pro soccer teams.

A simple search on the internet shows WOrld CUp ticket sales alone exceed 1 billion dollars and total revenue is 16+ Billion, and that was in '96.

I don't think that is included in the Forbes study.

[LJJ]

The USA has what, a population of 300 million?
No European country even comes close, so soccer teams make less money.

It's pretty simple.

[skillswithaz]

lmao @ all of the people getting offended by this thread.

Like many have posted, in football, you have a great choice of leagues and games to watch, while in the NFL, theres one league, one choice to watch. In football, you have Series A, La Liga, Premier League, Bundelsiga, French Ligue 1, SuperLig, MLS, Mexican Liga, etc. etc. etc. Put together 30 teams from those leagues and have ONE super league world wide[cancel those other leagues] and I can guarantee you that world football will top the nfl money wise. AC, Inter, Juventes, ManU, Liverpool, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Galaxy[Becks $$], Lyon, Barcelona, Real Madrid and the list goes on and on.

the value of those teams are all listed in the OP

they are below most NFL teams...except for Manchester United

[Hawker]

higher education?

the Ivy league is in the US...they have what? Oxford?

alot of Europe is very poor.

free health care?

how come they don't have dentists over there?

the schools are much harder in England than the US BUT the school system is better in the US b/c there is more opporunity.

you screw up bad? Go to a community college and work back up again.
