Solid prizes promised to Spaniards for triumph in the World Championship

P

romised very solid bonuses to the Spanish national football team are already causing turmoil in crisis-hit country.

Players and staff of Vicente del Bosque's team will receive 720 thousand euros each if they manage to defeat all opponents again and become world champions.

Such bonuses were agreed with the secretary of the Spanish Football Federation by the team captain Iker Casillas and vice-captain Xavi.

Other national teams can only dream of similar amounts: for example, Brazilians were promised 330 thousand euros each, Germans - 300 thousand euros.

Critics call such sums "from another world" and rhetorically ask if they live twice as well as Germans.

Meanwhile, FIFA increased the prize fund and will allocate 27 million euros to the champion.
