EA Sports unleashes FIFA Earth

Manchester Utd are most popular.

EA Sports has released its FIFA Earth website to the masses, bombarding us with stats ripped from the PS3 and Xbox 360 game.

So far, for instance, 32 million games have been played. The counter on the website is flying up, but there's a long way to go to reach the two billion games FIFA 09 managed.

The nation playing the "best" FIFA 10 is Oman, surprisingly enough. That's regardless of the team chosen. The UK is at 52 [because you're all f***ing playing as Barcelona and Real Madrid - Ed].

Manchester United tops the popularity ranking, followed by Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Chelsea and Arsenal. The "hottest" club is Jaguares de Chiapas from Mexico.

EA notes that FIFA Earth is still in its infancy, and will expand to cover "infinite possibilities". Right.

Head over to the FIFA Earth website for a browse.
