Dont feel too bad. Coca Cola was the first thing that popped into my head as well when I read the title. The word "brand" threw me off.

Hmm, wut a coincidence!

Real madrid is my team in Spain.
Manchester United is my team in England.
Cowboys of course.

Man U is #1 and they still are having financial trouble. I read a report that the Glazers might be selling their shares in the team.

Odd that three baseball teams would be in the top 10 and only one NFL team, when the NFL is so much more popular in the US than baseball.

It's not popularity this list is based on. It's the value. I don't see any NFL other than the Cowboys that are more valuable than the Red Sox or Yankees. I'm surprised the Mets are on there though.
