How much are national football teams worth?

Frontier (Europe) has carried out an analysis of the economic value of the players of the 10 national football teams that are most likely to win the 2010 World Cup in South Africa according to betting odds.

The results obtained show that the Spanish starting line up is the most valuable, with an estimated value of £258 million, followed by Argentina (£249 million), England (£226 million), Brazil (£190 million), Portugal (£171 million), France (£153 million), Germany (£133 million), Netherlands (£132 million), Ivory Coast (£111 million) and Italy (£108 million).

The study also highlights the fact that the most valuable football player in the planet, for the second year in a row, is Lionel Messi (£119 million), followed by Cristiano Ronaldo with a value of £81 million.
