THERE IS A significant cultural divide between the United States and Europe when it comes to the appreciation of sport.

While the NFL reigns supreme in America, soccer (or football if you prefer) dominates the zeitgeist internationally. Both the football teams stateside and the football clubs abroad bring in a ton of revenue.

Using data from Forbes, we ranked each team by the amount of revenue they generate (in US dollars) and compared how much the richest clubs in Europe are taking in compared to the NFL.

What the data shows is that while midmarket NFL teams bring in more money than their European counterparts, when it comes to the big money soccer clubs, it’s tough for the likes of the Cowboys and Patriots to keep pace.
