12 Excuses You Make For Losing On FIFA

"Good game. Nice victory. Let's remain friends." Said no-one ever.

Gaming Douchebag From Ghana to South Korea, England to Brazil, hundreds of thousands of gamers around the globe play the world€™s best football simulation game every single day. It is fitting that the only truly global sport should have a globally played video game alongside it, but unfortunately, much like some of the managers who consistently blame poor officiating or adverse weather for their team€™s abysmal form, players of FIFA seem to have inherited the use of similarly lame excuses. It doesn€™t matter if you€™ve battled for a hard-fought 2-1 victory or trounced them 5-0, some opponents will inevitably devise some feeble excuse accounting for their loss. No matter the circumstances or how soundly they are beaten, some FIFA gamers predisposed to making excuses will never concede that they have lost to a superior player or congratulate you on a fair victory. Indeed, the statement "You're probably better than me" is most likely more uncommon than getting that much sought after Lionel Messi card on FIFA Ultimate Team. The excuses available to these sore losers are seemingly endless, varying from game to game, but those featured here are those which are generally encountered most often, and most frustratingly. Some you can almost sympathise with, particularly when it's a matter of circumstance that you won, but others can just be plucked out of the air; the rogue, self-serving garbage fondly regurgitated by bad losers the world over. These are the 12 excuses you will inevitably encounter after beating someone at FIFA 14, and those you will probably already be sick of.
