Although I'm not sure it's dollar for dollar. I think USSF sets a fee. I've read the Brazil hasn't played a home friendly in years. They are such a worldwide draw that they make more money that way. @njndirish – That’s why those attendance numbers never bother me. Although I’m not sure it’s dollar for dollar.

They tell it all without any of us needing to try. Hey, MOUF, we can read the stats however we wish. They tell it all without any of us needing to try.

If so, they need to get Ronaldo and the Portugal team over ASAP for a friendly around the Boston area and ring up the Brazilian federation as well. Brazil doesn't play at home, USSF could make some money off their friendlies, especially playing Iceland in Charlotte @ njndirish: serious?

Charlotte has a high concentration of transplanted Icelanders, or B. the Tarheel State finds Eidur Gudjohnsen sexy and alluring. possibly a spurious link with those games featuring Mexico…it could also be that A.

Bigger attendance than the #2 game on the list, at the same venue. Homesick Mexicans probably have a stronger connection to their team than do Americans, who are happy to just watch the game on the tube.
