Whether its online or off, there are some within the FIFA community who would have you believe that a match-up between Spurs and Barca is the equivalent of an amateur boxer being thrown into the ring with Mike Tyson. Well heres a newsflash for those who have pulled this excuse out before: a 5-star team is a 5-star team, and i doesn't matter if theres a small deviation in quality at the top the star rating was made to ensure fair games and a skilled player could use Spurs to pick apart Barca with ease. The fact remains that the complainer consciously picked their desired team before the game and if Messi gets a hat-trick against them in the first half, then it's probably just a good indication that they shouldve chosen more wisely
7. The Restricted View
The young adult male is rarely happier than when he and a group of his boys are crammed around a television screen having a heavy session on FIFA, possibly with the promise something greasy and smothered in cheese later in the evenings proceedings. But even when these all-too-rare FIFA fiestas are initiated, a pathetic excuse can sometimes emerge which has the potential to spoil the evenings merriment. The nature of playing locally in a group inevitably means that some players will have a more favourable view of the screen than others, usually by millimeters or the most imperceptible of angles - it's unlikely that there's ever going to be a pillar in the way. Its sad but gamers will all too often use this negligible handicap to excuse a loss.
