Everyone wants to be a footballer or a footballers wive, why wouldnt you? Simple. They are paid a huge huge huge amount of cash as their salary more in one week than some people do in their life! Being a footballer is easy all you need to be able to do is look cool whilst kicking a football around for 5 minutes a match, more of the time your off sub.! People need to realise that anyone can be a footballer it isnt hard whihc is why soo many people want to be one. But i dont like football, Why would i? all it is is overpaid fat sweaty men running around a pitch…………. Footballers complain that they arn’t paid enough but for heavens sake they are paid over £1m a week!!!!!!!!!!!!
Much more for better players. I just dont see how they say that isnt enough -.- it’s pointless supporting football .If players like David Becham and All the other overpaid lumps in this world donated just a small amount of cash from their £20m+ salary a year to the poor and country then the owrld would be a much better place. and they say they arn’t paid enough! come on wake up you earn more than 200 people do combined a month and you still complain for sitting on the side bench for 30 minutes a week. Its pointless footballers ahve no talent anyone can run around a pitch kikcking a football but they dont get paid millions and millions!
So dont complain that you arnt paid enough if you do then you are greedy!
Your wrong, let me explain why?
Exhibit A – “All it is is overpaid fat sweaty men running around a pitch” How many players in the Premier League would you describe as ‘fat’. Cristiano Ronaldo, not exactly. Didier Drogba, barely. Steven Gerrard. Do I need to go on?
P.s. “Overpaid fat sweaty men” should contain at least one comma.
Exhibit B – “If players like David Becham and All the other overpaid lumps in this world donated just a small amount of cash from their £20m+ salary” Are you kidding? How misinformed are you? I apologise if this seems rude to other readers but this particular issue I take exception to. David Beckham, is paid a fortune, but also does a substantial amount of work for charity and has invested his own cash in developing soccer through his soccer schools. Exactly how much of your last paycheck went to charity? Was it nearly 20%? Didn’t think so.
To be honest, I could go on for a long time but the comments section does have a character limit. Anyone who has read this article, and, as I did, found it to be ridiculous, please take a look at some genuine sports writing on http://www.gs-uk.blogspot.com or take a look at the “Art of Diving” also in the soccer section of this site.
I apologise in advance if this repsonse is rude but, to be perfectly frank, that is the biggest load of rubbish I have ever had the misfortune to read.
I am not sure what games you have been watching but if you can name me a leading Premier League that is “fat” – and don’t say Wayne Rooney because that would be a lie.
Now, you may have seen the amounts being offered to Kaka by Manchester City and decided vent your anger. However, he was still not being offered £1million a week – and no player in the world earns anywhere near that much!
Footballers have no talent? Unless you are actually Leo Messi then I would like to see you take on Cristiano Ronaldo or Steven Gerrard in a one v one.
In all honesty, I think you may have become slightly deluded in your hatred for football and those who play it. It is sad, because if you actually sat down and watched it then you would realise what all the fuss is about.
What kind of garbage are you trying to publish on the internet?
Baseball players get payed at max 24 million per season, 4, 5, sometimes even 24 times more than football players do and they DON’T EVEN LIFT THAT MUCH AT ALL!!!
Football players are running until their shoes fall off and their heart stops pumping and are constantly fighting mental destruction of allowing the weights to defeat you.
You know why football players aren’t donating money to organizations or getting involved with the “real world” or whatever you want to call it? Because they’re too freakin’ busy playing the sport they live for 24/7 10 months of the year and the other two can’t even be considered as a vacation because of the mental and physical atrify that lingers around them that they’re constantly worrying about.
How can you say that they’re not being payed enough? Baseball players are getting paid SIX TIMES AS MUCH FOR DOING 1/2 OF THE EFFORT THAT FOOTBALL PLAYERS DO. HOW CAN YOU CONSIDER THIS AS FAIR?
i agree soccer players in the premier league are paid too much.
give them 5000 pounds per week and that’s it and all other high price soccer leagues in the world should follow suit.
i play soccer for fun, but i can well with both feet, these idiots get paid about 100,000 pounds per week and they can’t kick with their left foot. practice you idiots. you don’t have a proper job. practice. get a ball and practice for an hour a day with your left foot and you’ll be right in 10 days, but alas they can’t be bothered. yet they don’t forget to sniff coke, see prostitutes and gamble. donate 10% to charity you bastards and while you’re at it learning some dribbling skills! madarona was worthwhile watching but these idiots do is pass the ball in a safe and boring fashion. you get paid the big bucks so enertatain us with you skill !
