Do you think the Germany squad play for peanuts? The game is a professional sport overseas too, you know.

I admit I haven't a clue about football, but even though I first attended a game back in the 1960's I'll bet the players, then, didn't earn 50x the average wage.
I've got a ticket stub for Stamford Bridge that cost £5.25 - I stood on the grassy bank that was then the shed & watched Peter Osgood play against Grimsby Town - I'd be surprised if, even he, earned that much more than my yearly wage per week, then....
