[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh boy, here we go again. The resources aren't nearly the same as available as the top leagues.

EPL earns about                    6.7 Billion, UK pop 67 mil or $100pp
Bundesliga and                     3.4 Billion, Germ pop 84 mil or $40pp
La Liga about                        3.4 Billion, Spain pop 48 mil or $71pp
Seria A about                        2.5 Billion Italy pop 59 mil or $42pp
Ligue 1 about                        2 Billion France pop 68 mil or $19pp
MLS about                            1.8 Billion USA pop 333 mil or $5pp
Brazil about                          1.7billion Brazil pop 215 mil or $7pp

I couldn't find good data on Argentina, and these are just the TOP leagues in each countries, not all the soccer money generated. Not saying we can't do better, but there is a reason we have pay-to-pay and it's not due to lack of trying to get money from sponsors or elsewhere. Hell even the Brazil comparison here is misleading when you compare costs there to here, but I included it to show how relatively poor we are to everyone when it comes to soccer.

I’m not sure what point you are trying to make. England is far and away the highest in terms of your metric, but are behind every other country on the list (save for the US) in terms of development of homegrown players. [/quote]

Can you explain exactly what you mean by England being behind everyone in homegrown talent development?[/quote]

That having the best league in the world hasn’t really helped their national team all that much. [/quote]

Not sure you understand what homegrown talent means for soccer[/quote]
