Ben Foster reveals the unwritten rule that most England fans don't know: the players don't actually keep their match fees. Foster breaks down the £2,000 per game fee that gets signed over to charity, and explains the "sponsorship pot" from massive brands like McDonald's and Carlsberg that gets paid out pro-rata to the squad.

They shouldn't get paid a cent.
Maybe I'm naive, but I thought playing for your country at the highest level was payment enough. Guess I was wrong
By the time you get a call from England you are already a multi millionaire why are they even talking about money ?
So, nothing to do with the privilege of wearing the badge, then….
probably some sunday leauge donny who's good enough for the main team that'd play for free
Oh so big money we keep, the small money we give to charity
Why would you want to get paid to play for your country doesn't matter how much it is it should all go to charity it should be the greatest privilege and honour of your life
Nothing major, just 2k a game.... this just shows the insanity of things, football hasnt been a sport for decades now it's a business. I don't even make 2k a month after tax and I'm in construction, just shows you how fucked up the world is.
They earn enough money it should be an honour playing for your country... That port percentage could all be put into charity
Sounds like sponsors pick the team as we all know alot of the time, theres better players get left at home or on the bench
I wish i could get 2k for playing footy with mates for 90 mins 😂
Ghana national team players make a lot of money
Id be pissed if they made me donate my match fee
The best payment will be bringing home that cup lads, got to have faith 💪🏼 come on England 2026 🏴
Sounds like its for the sponsors free travel , tickets ,drinks food, accommodation & get to meet the team with your family & friends,surpised they dont get a medal 😂
bro makes more in a game than i do in a month , holy cope😂
This calibre of gk made it to the English national team and people wonder why they are so mediocre as a national team 😂
Play for the country and badge for free!! Country has gone down hill! Noo morals
But does the charity ever see it
Paid for charity appearances
