The FA received £6m for England's dismal World Cup campaign as the Spanish Football Association collected a record £20m for winning the tournament, after Spain earned a 1-0 extra-time victory over Holland in the Final.
England’s second round loss to Germany amounted to £6m prize money - as did the other nations that made it through the group stages only to fall at the first hurdle.
The Dutch collected a hefty £16m for the runners-up prize whilst semi-finalists Germany and Uruguay each received £13.3m.
Quarter-finalists Argentina, Brazil, Ghana and Paraguay each picked up £12m.
South Africa and the other nations eliminated in the group stages earned £5.3m.
