Football in 2010

Our days football has became a real business with huge amounts of money spent and you only have to take a look at some major clubs in Europe to see why. Manchester United, Barcelona or Real Madrid are a few of the big names that bring each year profits of hundreds of millions of euros, even within this economical crisis.
Hard to say if these clubs will ever fall, but we only can praise the extraordinary level they have achieved. To be able to spend 100 millions euros on just one player sounds fabulous, but it's real and ones at Real Madrid surely do like to ride the big horses.
Major competitions like UEFA Champions League or Europa League are the final destination for any team in Europe, in order to reach fame and money.
Other continents are only a pale replica of Europe and none of them are even at half distance of the scale the football has reached in the Old-Continent. Copa Libertadores or the Asian Champions League are coming strong from behind, but they miss one important and decisive thing: money.
This year-2010, will also bring the World Championship in South Africa, where no less than 32 teams will battle for the final glory in football. As usual the main favorites are Brazil, the team with most World Cups won till today.
