It's all marketing, he earns money by sponsorship. For example, he wears Brand X shoes, people who like soccer would just want the exact same shoes. This is why I never follow sports, too much marketing involved.
Yeah but a surgeon won't earn Adidas a few million quid. Nice sentiment, not thought out though....scottomus0 wrote:

There's a lot more surgeons than sports players, so naturally sports players will be payed more. Besides, surgeons may make a lot of money but they don't get billions in ticket sales, merchandise licensing, and sponsorship.scottomus0 wrote:

Americans do watch football! Dirk Benedict (Face from the A-Team) was just talking about how good Alan Shearer was on Celebrity Big Brother.
I lost all respect for him when I discovered he's on that show...=OBS= EstebanRey wrote:

Many different cultures have played a sport similar to the modern game of soccer but no one can really say with any certainty when or where soccer began but it is known that the earlier variations of what later became soccer were played almost 3000 years ago.
One of the earliest forms of soccer in which players kicked a ball around on a small field has been traced as far back to 1004 B.C. in Japan. The Munich Ethnological Museum in Germany has a Chinese text from approximately 50 B.C. that mentions games very similar to soccer that were played between teams from Japan and China. The Chinese kicked a leather ball ( hair-filled ) and it is known with certainty that a soccer game was played in 611 A.D. in the then Japanese capital, Kyoto.
The Romans played a game that somewhat resembled modern soccer. The early Olympic games in Rome featured twenty-seven men on a side who completed so vigorously that two-thirds of them had to be hospitalized after a fifty-minute game.
While historians kept records of events such as wars and religious movements they had very little interest in preserving the various origins of soccer or many other sports, so no one can say how soccer seems to have spread from Asia to Europe.

Doesn't matter. Those sports aren't football, though they may have resembled it. Modern football was created in 1863 when the FA first standardised the rules. Until that date rugby was considered to be football as well, which gives you some idea.Kmarion wrote:

Alan Shearer has made an international career out of pushing the defender in the back as the cross is hit to give himself enough space to be "the best header in English football".=OBS= EstebanRey wrote:

There's no such thing as a good English striker....
Then perhaps he should have said modern football. Yea, I can be a smart ass.Bertster7 wrote:
