Everything is ready, in small but beautiful Qatar. On Sunday (20/11), the 22th World Cup opens its gates, which will be held for Europe in the winter season, something unprecedented, at least until now.

The footballers who will participate have a total value of 12.5 billion Euros, an amazing figure. And of course everyone, as well as their team, chases their own dreams.

The valuations so far show the England national team as the most expensive team of the 32 that will participate. Gareth Southgate's team costs the amount of 1.26 billion euros with Brazil second with 1.14 billion euros and France third with 1.03 billion euros.

On the contrary, we find as a more cheap team, which is certainly a surprise, Qatar. The wealthy independent Arab emirate, although it appears to have spent a staggering €220bn on the infrastructure it built to host a major event, will field a football club whose players cost just €14.9m in total together, with m.o. 530,000 euros each!

One of the great contrasts (if not contradictions) of the first World Cup since 1930 to be held in the Middle East. However, only 3 national ones exceed the "barrier" of one billion.

At the same time, small fluctuations are observed from day to day in the costing of international aces, with France e.g. to fall in the last 24 hours from 1.08 billion euros to 1.03 billion euros, Argentina to "win" on Friday 12 million euros in valuations and Senegal, Morocco to lose 60 million euros and 10 million. euros (and the Total Market Value to decrease, temporarily, by 100 million euros, from 12.46 billion euros).

Along the way, some will go up, some will go down. Depending on the results or the performance of their players. And those who qualify will boost their values.

The operation of the football market presents limit up and limit down and has its "heavy cards", almost like the board of a real stock market.

The agents set up their own "party" ahead of the January transfer window, which for the first time is so close to a World Cup, and the "dance of millions" begins, for those footballers who manage to "launch" their cashes.
