The Australian FA is getting over 8 million US$ and 2.4 of that is going to the players. What i want to know is how much T&T will be getting. The Austrailian FA brokered that deal with Fifa so the tie tongue VP should be able to at least get us a 5 mil. 
Aye mr waggonist 
, FIFA rules are the same for all teams. each team that qualifies for the world cup receives US$5 million, and as u go through the rounds the prize money increases.

Few could put a price on what ending 32 years of World Cup heartbreak would mean to Australian soccer tomorrow night.
World governing body FIFA has - $8 million.
That's how much Football Federation Australia and the Socceroos stand to collect from FIFA should they overcome a 1-0 deficit and win their way to Germany 2006 in the second leg of the World Cup playoff against Uruguay at Telstra Stadium.
The players themselves will receive 30 per cent - or $2.4 million - of that qualification bonus under the Collective Bargaining Agreement drawn up in August between the FFA and Australian Professional Footballers Association.
That equates to over $100,000 for every squad member. The rest would go to the FFA.
But those hard cash figures are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of benefits should the Socceroos qualify for one of the world's biggest events.
FFA chief executive John O'Neill said the effects of qualifying would flow on to every level of the game in Australia.
"I wouldn't say it will solve Football Australia's financial problems forever and a day, but it would certainly put us on the right track," O'Neill said.
"It would be a significant boost to the game in every respect.
"We're really doing quite good things, the A-League is doing well, we move into Asia next year, the football community is all happening.
"But what World Cup qualification will do is accelerate our momentum on all fronts."
How far forward it pushes the sport O'Neill did not want to speculate, but he believes it would do wonders for football's standing in Australian society.
"It puts us in mainstream sport," O'Neill said.
"What's the biggest event in the world next year? The FIFA World Cup. If you go back to 2002 and look at the TV ratings here in Australia at the Korea/Japan World Cup they were fantastic, and Australia wasn't even playing.
"Can you imagine if Australia reaches Germany in 2006."
Australia leaves Oceania to join the Asian Football Confederation on January 1.
It presents a far different route to the 2010 World Cup for the Socceroos, with group stages providing up to dozen matches to work towards qualification, instead of the cut-throat nature of a two-legged playoff.
"It's comprehensive, it certainly gives us a number of qualification games, none of this sudden-eath stuff which is so hard on the nerves, but its genuine year in year out competition," O'Neill said.
"But we're only really looking at this game tomorrow night at the moment."
