Fun Fact: Team USA Playing for more than Pride


According the the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. World Cup players are fighting for more than national pride this June — a clause inserted into U.S. Soccer's collective-bargaining agreement provides bonuses for each player. SportingIntelligence put the bonuses at at least $78,000 each even if the team doesn't get any first round points, and up to $895,000 apiece for winning the tournament. Let's hope that these new financial incentives will motivate team U.S.A to perform better than their 1 point disaster four years ago in Germany.
