FIFA 14: 10 Nations You Won't Believe Aren't On The Game
5. Ukraine
We're developing a bit of a trend here, as Ukraine are another fairly big European nation that have rich footballing history, yet are still unavailable for selection on FIFA 14. Despite the fact that they haven't qualified for the last two World Cup tournaments, they did reach the quarter-finals in 2006 and co-hosted Euro 2012. The majority of their current squad ply their footballing trade within their nation, as the side as decreased in stature since the likes of Andriy Shevchenko who was actually very good, despite what his time in the Premier League showed you. They do, however, have Anatoliy Tymoshchuk- an ex-Bayern Munich star. While they don't top the list of nations that should be included in the FIFA franchise, their absence is questionable due to the stature of the nation during the noughties when they should have been added and remained in the game ever since.
