No real offense to those 9 countries that were included along with the 32 qualifiers but I have to say that the decisions to include certain countries over others was poorly made.
Czech Rep. and Austria are valid choices (since they made it to the playoffs) but the exclusion of Romania and Ukraine is typical EU.
Finland and Greece from Group 9 makes it 4 of 5 teams from that group in (along with England and Germany)...which it shouldn't be.
Then you have The Swiss who finished 4th in their group (behind Yugoslavia, which should have been there)
You have Norway which also finished 4th
Scotland is ok...they finished a respectable 3rd...same with Israel which also finished 4rd
The fact that they put 3 4th place finishers shows that their is a strong Bias from EA.
On top of this, the fact that Australia is the only non European country (if you want to include Israel as Europe) is also EU B.S. IRAN should have been in the game regardless.
What it should have been:
Australia, Austria, Czech, Romania, Ukraine, Iran, Yugoslavia, Scotland and Israel (Netherlands, but we all know the deal with them).
Some of you might say that the reason certain teams were included and not others is because of licencing is once again EU garbage. If Romania have Yugoslavia proper Kits and players in FIFA2002 then they HAD the LICENCING.
Just look at FIFA2002 and you'll see an unfair bias towards us Slavs. Where are teams from Russia, Yugoslavia or the Ukraine?
P.S.
If Anyone from EASports is reading this, why don't you reply and tell me why Slavic and Eastern European Nations are poorly represented in this and other EA FIFA games?
