What's a prostitute's going rate these days? Calls to Silvio Berlusconi have been unanswered,
and shockingly there's no sort of rolling scale on the FA's official website, so we're left to word

the shakes so far.
The MLS Players Union has released its annual salary list, putting an exact figure on what every
player in Major League Soccer earns. No surprise that LA Galaxy's David Beckham still tops the list
with a guaranteed annual salary of $6.5, with other Designated Players like New York Red Bulls'
Thierry Henry and Rafa Marquez close behind.

football in his homeland since his departure from Manchester United to Real Madrid nearly a decade
ago.
