Are you the best FIFA player on PS3?

By Robert Purchese Published 2 December, 2010

Prove it in new World Cup competition.

England won't host the 2018 World Cup, but that doesn't mean you need to be rubbish at FIFA 11.

You can can prove that by winning the FIFA Interactive World Cup 2011.

The tournament started yesterday and will run for six mini-seasons, each starting on the first day of every month. The top two players of each league go through to the June 2011 Grand Final, as does one winner from each of the 10 live qualifying events to be held between now and then.

There's a Frenchman at the top of Season 1 at the moment! You can keep up to date with the tournament on the official website.

    I'm glad England won't be hosting the World Cup.

    It was ridiculous how everyone was like 'oh we can't show the panorama episode that details how corrupt and money driven everything FIFA has ever done is because we might lose the bid'. The level of corruption within FIFA is a fucking disgrace and I can't believe even our Prime Minister has been kowtowing to them in the name of some sodding footbal competition.

    Which we won't even win.

    If the corruption investigation did in fact lose England the bid, then it is deliciously apropos that a mafia state and petro kingdom ended up winning. Way to send a message FIFA hahaha.

  • coolbritannia #3 1 year ago

    HisDudness, coming in last, I think the investigation is the only explanation...

  • frugtkompot #4 1 year ago

    And uh, how does one sign up for this?

  • coolbritannia #5 1 year ago

    Shambles, FIFA want shutting down. Very compelling case for Russia to win, but England coming last is nothing short of corrupt.

  • funkateer #6 1 year ago

    Chances are you win if you have lots of oil.

    It's like eurovision all over

    Just saw the Panorama eposide on the corrupt members of Fifa and it's utterly ridiculous. Knocked out in first round? I'd be surprised if there was even a single vote for England after the findings made by the BBC.

    A lot of people are criticising the BBC for showing their program at such a time but why shouldn't they? They're the only ones not sucking Fifa's hairy balls and wanting to present the facts. I'd be very very shocked if there isn't now an international investigation into Fifa. Blatter has always been a cunt but it seems there are more underlying reasons than we first thought.

    I love Fifa games but I'm seriously considering not buying them because even though EA make them and are a great developer, no doubt a large percentage of profits go into Fifa's bribe ridden pockets. I'm glad England didn't get the right to host the World Cup. The tournament is their main bribery magnet and I'd be ashamed to be associated with England for knowingly accepting Fifa's outrageous 'gaurantees' in exhange to hold a 4 week tournament that we certainly wouldn't win.

    is there anything England can win at?

  • paulf #11 1 year ago

    Hey...Eurogamer..do us a favour!

    Run a story on the amount of bugs Fifa 11 has and how EA are treating their customers. There are some major bugs in this game that EA haven't bothered to fix even though they've just released a patch. Some of the bugs were also in Fifa 10. It's shocking stuff and EA are really taking the biscuit by going silent and coy on the community.

    Report that and stop sucking up to them. You didn't mention the bugs in Fifa 10, you didn't mention the bugs in the Fifa 11 review...do us a favour and write something about it. You guys are just as bad for staying silent on this.

    FIFA has certainly given the british press further motivation to investigate their corrupt organisation. Be interesting to see what turns up...

  • jefranklin18 #15 1 year ago

    I am not in the least bit surprised by the two countries that won. FIFA are a completely corrupt organisation, led from the top by the vile Blatter. The problem is that the English Premier League are just as bad with that idiot Scudamore at the helm

    EDIT: Fixed a typo (a hazard while typing drunk) and to add the following:

    Ok, so somebody has marked me down for this? Normally, I do not care about +'s & -'s but in this case, lets look at the facts:

    1) The FIFA Technical committee (independent of the big cheeses) stated that Qatar presented the higest risk in terms of security and preparedness for the games, with Russia the second riskiest.
    2) Qatar do not have the greatest of human rights records and public drinking or being caught drunk in public is punishable by 2 years in prison
    3) The average summer temperature in Qatar is 50 degrees C. The games are going to be at walking pace unless they allow 7 subs per game.
    4) The Qatari FA have already said that the stadia will be dismantled after the world cup is held. Exactly how is that going to grow football in the region?
    5) The shambles over the ownership of Portsmouth, the fact that a former Thai prime minister with a questionable human rights record and the whole 39th game fiasco shows how badly the EPL is run.

    I do not have too much of a problem with Russia winning 2018, although I would have preferred Holland to have got it. My biggest issue with Qatar for the reasons above, and the fact that I wanted a holiday in Japan.

    Do I have to spam Barca?

    FIFA is only a joke and Sepp Blatter is nothing but a fat dickhead. Remember when that spaz Thierry Henry (the most hated man in Ireland behind our prime minister Brian Cowen) handled to ball to give those French fucks qualification, Sepp blatter just giggled and laughed at 'poor little Ireland'. But in the 2010 world cup when Englands goal was disallowed (and it was a clear goal) suddenly Sepp starts talking bout goal line technology. The point is that the bigger and more powerful the country, the more they get listened to by those fucks in Switzerland.
