garth crooks?

sir, a final warning

horrendous pundit, boring as hell

I do agree, so lesson learnt. Forgiveness is sought

[Graham C]

That's interesting, I didn't even consider there would be prize money on offer for the World Cup.  It makes sense of course that there would be but I've never considered it.

I think I have a rough idea that it's nowhere near as much as the EPL etc would be.....

edit: already sent answer before I wrote this btw.

[TightEnd]

have two answers

verndog says $5.6m

mulhuzz says $30.001m


and the answer is

The total prize money on offer for the tournament was confirmed by FIFA as US$420 million (including payments of US$40 million to domestic clubs), a 60 percent increase on the 2006 tournament.[30] Before the tournament, each of the 32 entrants received US$1 million for preparation costs. Once at the tournament, the prize money was distributed as follows:[30]

    US$8 million – To each team eliminated at the group stage (16 teams) ($8.65 million in 2014 US dollars[31])
    US$9 million – To each team eliminated in the round of 16 (8 teams) ($9.73 million in 2014 US dollars[31])
    US$14 million – To each team eliminated in the quarter-finals (4 teams) ($15.14 million in 2014 US dollars[31])
    US$18 million – Fourth placed team ($19.47 million in 2014 US dollars[31])
    US$20 million – Third placed team ($21.63 million in 2014 US dollars[31])
    US$24 million – Runner up ($25.96 million in 2014 US dollars[31])
   US$30 million – Winner ($32.44 million in 2014 US dollars[31])

In a first for the World Cup, FIFA made payments to the domestic clubs of the players representing their national teams at the tournament. This saw a total of US$40 million paid to domestic clubs. This was the result of an agreement reached in 2008 between FIFA and European clubs to disband the G-14 group and drop their claims for compensation dating back to 2005 over the financial cost of injuries sustained to their players while on international duty,
