the 'lost' international teams........

[morris]

from playing previous Fifa games round a mates house, year after year i was suprised by the fact that there were a few international teams that weren't included. now, i dont know if that was down to license issues or something else. but the 2 main ones i noticed were Holland...cos they're a good team, and Wales...cos thats where i'm from, now I wasn't really THAT suprised wales weren't included, cos they were always rubbish. but are the teams that have been shunned from previous Fifa games included this year?!

 

[BUTLER]

why did they leave Wales out and put in other rubbish nations that would never come near to winning anything?

 

[morris]

I dunno, i could understand it when wales were actually rubbish, and to be honest, who cares if wales weren't in it, but now that they are actually getting better and are a decent team....then i MIGHT want to play with them

 

[BUTLER]

yeah, and wales have some amazing players such as giggs and hartson

 

[JJ]

I'm incensed that EA didn't put us in the game - bastards

 

[morris]

and davies...and erm...koumas aint too bad, and bellamy....and delaney..who actually comes from down the road from where i am

 

[BUTLER]

and holland are one of best teams in world! they could have atleast done an unofficial- like holland team like in 2002 i think

 

[morris]

yeh there must be something going on there cos they aint in Pro evo either..but wales are....hmmmmm

 

[leafer01]

morris stop listing all the Wales' players dammit.. I'm getting scared because my Russia will have to play against you soon

 

[morris]

aha! well can you name me some good russian players? I'm not being cocky there or antyhing, but I aint very good with foreign football and stuff anymore so dont know who plays for who and all that...so what players would i know that play for russia, just wanna know exactly what wales are up against...

oh yeh forgot!........Earnshaw!

 

[BUTLER]

mostovoi and karpin wer amazing

 

[leafer01]

I believe Karpin said that he'll never play for Russia agian because he's too old or something..

Anyways, living in Canada, I don't get to watch a lot of Russian soccer (yeah, i know it's football, but I've been here for 6 years now and got this horrible habit of saying soccer) but recently my friend got a satellite with Russian tv, and I managed to watch the last 2 games against Switzerland and Georgia..

anyways, Sychev and Izmailov are probably the two most dangerous players, IMO at least, but they only come on in the 2nd half.. other good guys IMO are Bulykin, Karyaka and Gusev who is taking most free kicks..

good luck ont he 15th

 

[morris]

dont know any of those players, but i take ur word for it, and aye, on the 15th, good luck to you, its a shame both teams cant go through!

I guess that licensing must be the big issue, because there's essentially no additional work to creating more national teams beyond kits. For example, there are enough star players in the leagues included of different nationalities to fill a tonne of international teams i.e. Chile, Wales, Canada, etc. It's different to include Japan (very dissapointed) it's not in it or Trinidad and Tobago, where a lot of player research would be involved.

moreover, FIFA got to get the Champion's League license. Playstation sponsors Champion's Leage, they should join forces and get the world's premier tournament beyond the World Cup.

 

[BUTLER]

they should do wales cos theyre doin division 1 this year

 

[morris]

all this week I've been thinking "hmmmmm, who can i do the career thing with......newcastle, nope....man city....nope...aha! Cardiff!" dont support them but it would be fun anyway

 

[Olympiakos7]

What means "rubbish nations"? Could you name one of these perhaps? You can't be referring to another nation as rubbish.

 

[Zopyrus]

Yea what is up with the talks like "rubbish nations" !? You only want a football game with the nation that win something like the WC or the Continent Cup? I say..The more the better..

 

[t1k]

I'm not very sad couse of Wales but - Holland !!! What's wrong with EA? They're one of the best teams in Europe and I would like to play against them

 

[BUTLER]

sorry guys, that came out wrong, i meant that Ea include international teams that dont do as well in international competitions like World Cup or as Wales. I think they should have included all the best international teams from the official FIFA rankings
