Ireland set to win World Cup

In an incredible move that no one expected, EA have decided to release another full-priced remake of their hit classic, FIFA 1998. Except this time using the tweaked engine from the 2010 iteration and with HD graphics (though FIFA 2010 is hardly proper HD looking at the state of the renders). This time, instead of a full roster and actual bug fixes, EA will release the game with the international competition, known in Europe as the “World Cup” and in America as “not the Superbowl”, set in the gritty heartland of South Africa.

EA did supply a screenshot of Wayne Rooney but I’ve decided to let my bitterness take hold and not include it here. Since Ireland are not in the competition, I’ll be rooting for both Germany (who stand a chance of winning) and Netherlands (because they’re awesome – bloeden oranje!).

Screenshots below:

England v Holland - come on you Dutch high flyers!

Spain v Italy. Italy won't win this time because Luca Toni is even worse, and plays for Roma rather then Bayern

Mexico v USA. Neither will go far.

No, no screens of France v Ireland sadly, though here’s hoping for a “Henry Handball” exploit…

  1. You know way too much about sport to be a proper gamer.Come to think of it, You don't even wear glasses!

  2. I really loved you site. I wish I could get one like yours but it seems that you have put a lot more effort into it than I could. I will keep your site in my bookmarks so I can return and see it again when it has some more info. Good topic !
