Can you play FIFA 2001 over the internet? if so how and does anyone want a game?

Yes you can.. and there are 2 ways

1) No1 to play with? Run FIFA2001, game modes, multiplayer (one of the icons at the bottom), Multiplayer Matchmaker

Then it'll load your browser and take you to a place where you can make matches

2) If you have someone to play with (try www.fifaclubs.com (http://www.fifaclubs.com) ) one of you can host a direct ip game, the other joins.

See the easy install guide which came with FIFA 2001 for more details.
