for Mexico, I think instead of Villa it should be Palencia (The golie: Oscar Perez [11th in the world] is having the worst moment of his live, and the best defense: Claudio Suarez just had a pretty bad accident that will not let him play the WC )

[Ruben Sosa]

I think Poyet has very little chance of making the World Cup team, and while De Los Santos is good, I don't think he's star material.

I'd say for Uruguay, the stars should be Recoba, Montero, Pablo Garcia.

[pronewbie]

Too many unrealistic Star Players. You tryin' to tell me Emerton is close to Totti? Heh no way. But keep on postin', cos the patchers will most probably take note of the list and edit it once they get the game

[emmer]

patchers must take care or we will have half of the players in the game with stars on their heads

[Ruben Sosa]

It will be a nice change from dollar signs.

[Juninho 10]

How can Raul and Vieira NOT be star players!? they are 2 of the top players in the world.

[Drav3n]

hey guys....I'm a little troubled here...I've noticed, that there are some teams listed here, which didn't manage to qualifiy for the world cup, Finland for instance. So, obviously EA is putting in plus teams again, just as in WC98....But the I ask, where is Holland (Netherlands) ??
I really don't want to hurt anybody, but please don't tell me that Greece or Switzerland is a more popular or better team than Holland...
So I mention it again, I do not want to hurt anybody or his nation, but I think this isn't right...

[gabbatotu]

I'm not sure (so please don't bite my head off) but I think EA hasn't got the copyright stuff to use Holland's national team (but could've if they qualified) because in Fifa 2002 you don't get the official holland team but a crappy mad up one (unless my copy is messed up)

You are correct. It is a license issue as it is in Fifa 2002. They could not get the license to inlude Holland so that is why they are no in it.

[johnnybrubacker]

yeh, the deboers sued fifpro for letting fifa use their faces for promotion

[Tom1984]

Very stupid that EA didn't select Ono as star player for Japan, he's playing the UEFA Cup final! How good must players be to be a star player???

[pronewbie]

Be as good as ... Barry Ferguson? LOl

so you are saying that every player from a national team wich plays the uefa cup final should be a star player? i think that wouldn't be realistic

[emmer]

ok ea didn't get the license to include holland but they should include it anyway, like in FIFA2002. it would make the patchers works easier.
