WOW

[PS360PCROCKS]

Haha clicking that reminded me I haven't checked my facebook in a LONG time lmao. Looks great, I always laugh at soccer games because they show you what it looks like at field level. Than you get the game and all you ever see is above the action

edit: Hey Europeans when does the world cup start again? June 11th or something? I know ya'll love soccer, I don't normally but the world cup is epic. I hope there are more Zidane like headbutts haha.

[CYBERSNAKE]

Yeah starts June 11, but can you please call it football.
I really don't understand where 'soccer' came from.

[nix]

AH.. JUNE 11!!! q:

[BigPenguin]

Here is an idea, read a fucking book.

For those who get all irked about the word 'soccer'....like its some ignorant American thing that came out of nowhere....Maybe educate yourself slightly.

Even in Afrikaans it is called sokker. The U.S., Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa all traditionally used the word Soccer. The switch to calling it football is rather recent.
In a lot of these places, Football has traditionally meant Rugby. Like in Ireland, "football" or "footballer" can mean association football, Gaelic football, or rugby union. In New Zealand, the word football also is most commonly meant as rugby union.

Its the entire reason American football is called what it is instead of something like handegg, because it is a rugby clone. Just because once again Europe decided to be contrary against what was already established (fuck you Brittan, we invented a the car, we set the standard about drive on the right and sit left in the car, and you come along and make your own standards just to be contrary dicks) does not mean they are correct.

EDIT: Already got the world cup edition, I hate that they have managed to get me to buy 2 FIFA games in less then a year (T-T) But I will keep on doing it.

BigPenguin

"U.S., Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa"

And what do the rest of the world call it ?

[BigPenguin]

Ummm, did you read what I said? Its officially called football everywhere now, I used the word traditionally!!!!!!. In fact in 2005 Australia officially renamed the game from soccer to football to follow suit with the rest of the world, New Zealand in 2007. I was merely saying, just because it is called football now, does not mean soccer is a made up, or even an incorrect term for it.

I was responding to a question asked by CyberSnake, where he asked where the term came from. Soooo... I guess reading comprehension is not a strong suit for you, I am sorry, next time I will further dumb it down.

EDIT: Sorry, called football everywhere now except US and Canada. So when the US calls is soccer, we are calling it the OFFICAL NAME(as set forth by our nations association football governing body). Because where I live, we have not bent to the pressure from FIFA, like all the other pussy nations out there(as I said Australia and New Zealand most recently).

EDIT2: Apparently Samoa still officially calls it soccer as well, so power to you Samoa.

How can it be purposely contrary in Britain when football was invented in England. Quite a ridiculous statement. You go on about how in Ireland the term football meant all types of hand and ball sports, but this was true in England long before that. They didn't even speak english in ireland when the term football came about...

I have no problem with people saying soccer though, it's only I word.

[Baka-akaB]

half of those country werent into football for as long as the countries calling , and it isnt the national sport of half of those country .

The word itself date at least as far back as 1486. The english FA (as in football association) cup date as far back as 1870 . And around that time rugby was either rugby or "rugby football" .
The fifa is from 1904

Of the 45 national FIFA affiliates in which English is an official or primary language, 42 use "football" in their organizations official names (only Canada, Samoa and United States use "soccer")

At least in 2005, Australia's association football changed its name from "soccer" to "football" to align with the general international usage of the term. In 2007, New Zealand followed suit citing "the international game is called football" .

Anyway bottom line the world call it football , aside from a minority of country , inside wich an even smaller minority , actually have it as the number 1 sport .

Some people would be in a riot too , if even for logical reason or historical reasons , a few countries , not even always 100% into it , wanted to stand out by calling basketball instead "handball" , while the world already made a different consensus .

Edit :

you can make fun of people bending over all you want . It just maybe highlight the countries caring the most about the sport itself

[maverick1191]

and the rest of Europe call it FOOTBALL! and most Americas call it FOOTBALL aswell

stop thinking its called soccer when in fact when they 1st invented the sport it was called FOOTBALL but oh yeah US is the only country that matters and if US call it that then the whole world must call it that

[BigPenguin]

@mavrick1191 It was called Association Football when it was first ratified, not football. It was called this specifically to differentiate it from football. So mavrick1191, at least get your facts correct. Also, I go to Galaxy games all the time, no one calls it football. Hell do you live?

@Baka-akaB good job just copying wiki. It is completely accurate, but slightly lacking. And if you look at what I said, you really did not add anything to what I had already said other then precise dates. If you had done any additional research besides wiki, you would know that soccer as a term had been created by Brittan, specifically oxford, and had, as a term, spread to the rest of Brittan, Africa, and India(territory's of Brittan), and to the US and Canada(immigration). When FIFA was created, soccer was the prevailing term in much of the world.

And its why today it is still used by most of the "uneducated". Its the reason that even though in South Africa, all the official ads are calling it football, whenever they do man on the street interviews for the world cup they all call it sokker.

@stewgart There is a difference between invention and first ratifying of the rules. By your argument, Brittan also invented Golf, because even though it was invented in 1200's, it was not actually codified until 1750's by The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews(which at the time was part of Brittan). Soccer was not invented in Brittan(well it may have been, my actual point is that we do not know exactly when the game like soccer first started being played), it was merely where the first set of rules written down and actual clubs were created. It is a variation of a game played by the peasants(they could not do the Nobel sports) for the past 300 years.
Also the word for the game in Ireland is sacar, not football, that was my point earlier.

@EVERYONE: I am out of bubbles (T-T) hate the 3 bubble system, because despite the different viewpoints, it is a fun conversation.

[etebitan]

Its just a word, soccer/football, call it whatever you want, im from Costa Rica and of course we call it futbol(football), but BigPenguin has a point, for example the southafrican team is called the sokkeros so it makes sense. As of football beign created in britain, thats not accurate enough, for example the ancient mayans used 2 play a game called tlatchly, which was kinda like soccer(of course not the exact same rules), but as a funny fact the losing team was executed...

[BubZ-SkullY]

you can see the improvements. maybe they have the old kits because this was done before the new kits came out?? but still hope that things are alot smoother in 11

[Bodster]

Its probably the same as how Codemasters are still using 2009 season cars for their F1 game :)

[ASDK1230]

I am so going to get this game based on the epicness of this screenshot...

[DoomeDx]

Improve the graphics.
Add some more features.

why do they have vaseline on their faces?

[peeps]

I just hope they continue to tweak the gameplay. I still play fifa with my pro and mates in the online club mode every night for a few games.

Gotta love idiots on facebook too. He must be being sarcastic though. On the official fifa facebook they post this pic and he says 'it's fake, you can clearly see 'let's fifa 10 on the advert board' when even if you look at it closely it clearly says fifa 11 lmao

[The_Devil_Hunter]

Omg in just three more days Mexico Vs SA.

Spain all the way.....

[cronaldo7]

[Falloutxii]

I hope they can make it even better than FIFA 10, The greatest sports game in my opinion

[Falloutxii]

FIFA is my favorite sports game. Can't wait for the World Cup i'm rooting for spain and all their Barcelona players.

[B00M]

Nice graphics but I'm not a fan of Fifa or football games. But yeah June 12th here we come, America your going down.
