Football is one of the most watched sports in the world with a considerable viewership coming in from all over the world. With internet streaming and online soccer live scores, the viewership is only going to increase manifold in the coming days.

By official statistics, there are a number of languages in the world which helps people communicate with each other. Barring maybe a few, there is seemingly no semblance between the various languages that are applicable. It is imperative to say that to have a unified global language is a distant dream. What people can effectively decipher is a globally viable phenomenon. An effective phenomenon in this regard is football. Football is a global phenomenon which effectively cuts across geographical boundaries. It is by virtue of this universal sport that people can effectively bridge boundaries. Football already is the most watched sport in the world and that is effectively gauged by the fact that football still holds a considerable viewership advantage over other sports and that is effectively reflected upon the revenues that they generate in viewership.

From the sheer magnitude of paycheck alone, the football players rank among the highest paid sportspersons in the world. It is not only the fat paychecks but also multi-million dollar endorsement contracts play a key role in sustaining the flamboyant lifestyle that football players are used to. It is interesting to point out in this regard that football does play a huge part in the economic impetus of whole nation. Great Britain or Spain is an example of that. While the economic condition of Spain remains tumultuous, the La Liga has played a major role in stabilizing it a bit. Attracting the best football talents from across the globe, the star studded league has opened the gates for major brands to make their presence felt in the nation. The same applies for Great Britain as well. The thriving English Premier League is the nerve centre of quite a large portion of the national income that is roped in every year. The auxiliary industries that have grown up in and around the league are a testament to the sheer viability of football in this part of the world.

The monetary allure aside, the football players literally breathes for silverware and that reflects in the hard fought battles that they conduct on the pitch. Continental football championships like the UEFA Cup or the inter-continental ones like Club World Cups play a major role in bringing forth some of the most nerve wracking spectacles of the football pitch. It is to be noted that these tournaments play a major role in filling the coiffeurs of the not so cash rich clubs. In fact many of the lowly clubs strive on the T.V viewership money received during their association in the championships. This is a major onus for the clubs to finish in the top half of the table to qualify for the continental championships. While many clubs rely on the auxiliary payment, some clubs are more fortunate to even beat inflation. The spending spree of clubs like Paris Saint Germain or Manchester city during the inflation is a testament of the economic prowess of the big teams.
