Good Luck.

This year I think FIFA will be the overall winner due to some of the incredible videos I've watched on Youtube...

Also, "Be A Pro" mode has convinced me to buy the game as well. Though, when I first saw this I was slightly swayed towards Pro Evo 08 but those videos are just great things for a next-generation football game!

Get to ----.

Pro Evo will win hands down, as per every year.

looks ----, look at they way they run and kick the ball in front of them, ----ing retarded. Also when they say take control of the keeper during free kicks so you can move the keeper to where the player is aiming, it's stupid, why would the keeper stand behind the wall? No point having a bloody wall if you were going to do that.

If thats the best Fifa has got "be the keeper" then they can get stuffed
