EA Facing Another Football Cover Change?

16
Kotaku: "Ah, and by that I mean association football, not "throwball" as soccer enthusiasts call American football. Seems that one of the coverboys for FIFA 09, Maurice Edu (at right in the cover shot) of Major League Soccer's Toronto FC, is close to signing with Glasgow Rangers of the Scottish Premier League."

1 - It would be double standards if they don't change
For the People who care about football(Me and the rest of the worlds) I think it would be disrespect if they don't change the cover just to represent him with his new club. regardless of his career accomplishments. Ok he hasn't done for football what Bret has done for the "little football" but he is the MLS MVP and so that should mean something. Change the Damn thing is he leaves Toronto. I would care.

6 - Throwball?
If soccer fans want their sport to be referred to football, shouldn't they call american football "handball?" Or else, their sport should be called kickball.

Their inability to get even that correct, gives us more reason not to grant their wish.

Soccer is a term created in England by soccer fans anyway.

what are you stupid? how could you actually try to argue this issue about the game being called soccer? only a fool would say call it Kickball. That still leave the question unanswered as to why they hell the NFL calls the sport football when the ball is hardly kicked.

Stinkey, are you simple? I didn't think I made it all the complicated but I guess I'll have to reiterate.

Football (soccer) enthusiasts, according to Kotaku, want to call football americain "throwball." Throw is a verb. I said if they were consistent, they should name association football, kickball. Kick being a verb. So, I pointed out, those enthusiasts making the joke of calling american and canadian football, "throwball" should really be calling it handball (foot, hand, both body parts) or calling soccer kickball (kick and throw, both verbs).

Unless in other parts of the world they are footing the ball around?????

Do you understand now, or should I make it even more simple for you? I can always get my 6 year old nephew to explain it in his terms.

10 - Keep Ronaldinho
Are you guys seeing the olympics soccer tournament? Ronaldinho is coming back to his form.

In the end of the day, I dont care too much about the cover if they dont use players from Argentina.

I think Messi is confirmed for PES09 cover.

Cheers from Brazil!
