Love 'money, glories and fame' ..... why don't you love Football ?


Think of Argentine magician footballer Lionel Messi whose worth, they say, is $120 million. Apart from his earnings and record deal with Adidas, Messi, 35, has $14 million yacht, and his $50 million car collection includes the world’s most expensive car.




Neymar Jr, $87 million, Brazilian superstar, 30, owns three lavish homes in Parisis, Beverly hills and Brazil, a yacht, a private jet and a dozen supercars worth over $10 million. Kylian Mbappa, $128 million, who also made history as the youngest player to score over $100 million in one year. 


Christiano Ronaldo, $100 million, the hero of Portugal’s earnings off-field are even higher than on-field – about $60 million this year, thanks to his $1 billion lifetime deal a big sporting brand. 


Marcos Llorente’s of Spain whose net worth is estimated to be around $13.3 million. He also earns a staggering salary of $87,000 per week.


Dutch footballer and FC Barcelona player Depay, 28, has a net worth of approximately $20 million. 

His salary at FC Barcelona is speculated to be $5 million annually Jack Grealish, English footballer is reported to net a weekly salary of $464,000. Ronaldo definitely tops the list of elegant footballers, say media reports.




France, Argentina and England make it to Quarter Finals.

England beat Senegal 3-0.


France humbled Poland 3-1 and Argentina is already there having defeated Australia 2-1.



Argentina stormed into the quarter-final with a 2-1 win over Australia in the FIFA World Cup 2022 on Sunday. Captain Lionel Messi scored the opening goal for Argentina in the 35th minute before Julian Alvarez extended the lead with a goal in the 57th minute. 


Australia got a solitary goal to their tally when the ball deflected off Argentina's Enzo Fernandez into the post and was registered as an own goal.


The defending World Cup champion France is winning matches and achieving new milestones. 


France is already the first defending World Cup champion to reach the following tournament’s knockout stage since Brazil in 2006. 


Now, France is hoping to become the first country to win back-to-back World Cups since Brazil pulled off the feat in 1962.

Next up for France is a quarterfinals match on Dec. 10 against England. 







France earned a dominant 3-1 win over Poland in a round of 16 match at Al Thumama Stadium in Qatar on Sunday. The team got scoring contributions from its all-time goals leader and someone who appears well on his way to chasing that record.


The first goal came from Olivier Giroud, who capitalized off a pass from Kylian Mbappé in the 44th minute and gave France a 1-0 advantage. The tally marked Giroud’s 52nd career international goal with France and broke a tie with Thierry Henry atop the country’s all-time goals list.

Mbappé padded the French lead in the 74th minute. He was all alone in the box and meticulously ripped a shot past Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny and into the back of the net.

The 23-year-old superstar wasn’t done just yet, though. He scored in the first minute of second-half stoppage time off a similar strike to seal the victory.

The brace put Mbappé at five goals at the 2022 World Cup, putting him two scores up in the tournament’s Golden Boot race and surpassing his total of four goals from the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
