A Lethsoto player has been axed from his national team because he asked for a pay rise from £7.50 to £303. Compare that with what an English international gets
To the run up to the world cup in 2010, so 2007-2010 players got £750 for a defeat, £1,000 for a draw and £1,500 for a win when playing for England, but all players donated this to charity. £303 is $465 the average yearly income for Lethsoto is $1600 per annum, so that footballer wants about a 1/3rd of the average income for every family for 1 football game. English players dont even get that. Obviously English players gets sponshorship money as well from big firms, like Nike etc for wearing their boots, and if they get England caps they will get a canny bonus on top. that is extras the FA do not pay them that.
