[filon810]

[mgcw2010]

unlike ign in this review they don't play wavin falg, the best world cup song ever.

[denisiscena]

guys....80% call it football 20% soccer...it's not a big deal...only that football sounds better then soccer...xD

[poopikins]

Had a lot of fun with the demo. Should I pick this up?

[DownwardGoose]

@poopikins No, just get Fifa 11 like everyone else.

[m00kyst]

@poopikins Yes! I love this game, my fave Fifa game. LOT better than 11 or 10.

[poopikins]

@m00kyst What a coincidence! I just downloaded the demo again last night :P

[m00kyst]

@poopikins lol don't just download the demo - buy it man, BUY IT :P

[haywoodbadman10]

I thought Barcelona were in this game! no purchase for me then >:(

[mgcw2010]

@haywoodbadman10 Did it it say club world cup, mmm let me think, oh now i know, the answer is, NO!

[lebron23mvp1]

can you change the kit numbers in this game?

[TrollUtube]

Best console football ever made

No other comes close.

[donhealyou]

can we still play the tournament again and again online?

[kalevra78]

my my my, england isnt even capable of scoring a penalty in a video game :P 

[AbdulKarrimHatimHass]

is that dude rooney's cousin or something

[eobthatsme]

This game is the only way England will ever win the world cup...!!! :-)

[steveurk3]

@eobthatsme  won the world cup duh

[koopa64z]

@eobthatsme England did win the world cup in 1966

[MartyTurco093]

[de132]

[TheFunnyCorp]

[tgk789123]

@TheFunnyCorp , mabey get this game now and wait for fifa 11 but up two u

[DjCliff86]

[SUPERRMAN61]

[123adcadv]

Yay New Zealand

[faboodhun]

Where's Rooney?

[ipwn3you]

every team that was in the try outs is in the game so theres about 200 teams

[bandi911]

GO DENMARK!

[liljunior805]

Are the graphics good for psp?

[Swagg3r95]

@liljunior805 They still pretty much look the same

[UrPhreshness]

Don't know why they can't put it all them in one game

[BColub12]

I have 2 questions...

1. Are the vuvuzela's in this game?

2. Is there 10 vs 10 online team play like in FIFA 10?

Thanks!

[loofens]

@BColub12 1 lol they released a patch containing authentic south africa sounds, so yeah

2 dunno

[RatedRAli]

can i make my own team in this ?

or can i make my own team in fifa 2010 ?

[FlyingGold]

@773soccer hahah you got that from classic gameroom! :P

[tkman5000]

Anyone, this or fifa 10?

[techfan5730]

@tkman5000 Do you want international or club?

FIFA Soccer 10 for club, international, but no World Cup.

2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa for international + the World Cup.

[bennyleipold]

@tkman5000

I really love this one!

I got both by the way, and Fifa 10 is good, but this is much more improved. The thing is you can't play with clubs here, so if you want that aswell, i would wait until Fifa 11 comes out, cos it will be sick!

[Jaksterz96]

@bennyleipold so would u say this is better than fifa 10 as im not sure which one to get.

[bennyleipold]

@bennyleipold

The game is definately better (gameplay, graphics, atmosphere, etc) than Fifa 10!

But like I said, it depends on if you wanna play with clubs aswell. But if you want to buy this game, I would wait till after the World Cup, because I'm sure it will be cheaper haha. Good luck and have fun.

(Fifa 11 is coming out later this year)

[a7xkid83]

I find it hilarious that he was talking about goalie's making mistakes right as England's keeper is on the screen.. especially after yesterday

[subzeroevildusk90000]

@a7xkid83 is this game on pc ?

[adrian199151]

Ok im tired of the ignorance. Football is the American classic played with a pigskin, Futbol is game played all around the world with round ball. (im not sure exactly what its made of)

[Blithe125]

what should i get fifa 10 or fifa world cup hehe i bought pes 2010 and it really let me down fifa all the way now

[chugshhh]

The world cup is greater than the olimpics and the superbowl together...

[Grofgy]

i not really sure how i feel about this game. i had a real fun time playing it at a friend's house and my friends say i should buy this game. but my POV, what's the point of playing a world cup game if the world cup has already finished? anyway give me some advice of options whether to buy or pass this game.

[hubertd97]

hmm i need help what shall i get fifa 10 or fifa world cup? plz some one respond

[aoysaoys]

@hubertd97 world cup =) and wait for fifa 11!

[hubertd97]

@aoysaoys thanks man :)

[The2500player]

its called football not soccer. in american football you hardley need to touch the ball with your feets

[weinerschnitzell]

@The2500player r u retarded? u seriously think we dont know that? yes football does sound stupid for a sport that doesnt use feet but if we started calling it handball would it really catch on? no.

i want this game really really bad.

[The2500player]

@weinerschnitzell no motherfucker i am not retarded i am just saying its called football you use your feet not the hands or the dick but it is a little retarded to call a game something you hardley need to use. And the worst part is you calling it soccer. its called football not soccer thats a name for a loser sport. do you get the fucking point. there is all ready a sport called handball so pick a diffent name

[773soccer]

@The2500player It should be called handegg =P

[The2500player]

@773soccer thats up to you i am calling it football okay G

[Swood44]

@773soccer lol

[Swood44]

@The2500player you need to calm down, call it what you want and shut the fuck up.

[The2500player]

@Swood44 i am the most calm person you will ever meet if you knew me okay b!tch

[Swood44]

@The2500player obviously

[georgde13]

@The2500player

why dont u shut the fuck up

it doesnt matter what u call it its all the same

we just grew up in a different place

[The2500player]

@georgde13 i dont fucking care its called Football

[ssj9997]

@The2500player SPOT ON!

[HereWeGoCleveland]

@The2500player GTFO of here you jackass. The English were actuallty the first to coin the name ''Soccer''. Its both Football and Soccer. Get over it

[craigmcgougan]

@HereWeGoCleveland BTW it was Scotland that called it soccer first not England that is known fact

[JSJ07]

It features ONLY international teams? REALLY? :O I would never have guessed

[JOSH220694]

looks like a guy i just want to punch in the face.

[afgfahim90]

4 people on xbox live and up to 7 people on ps3

so hah!!!

[jkdoorbinnia]

@afgfahim90 yeah but with more lag dude. Y would u play with 7 players. Plus the fifa 10 version on ps3 had to be downgraded to support it, with low-res faces, and glitchy a.i, and worst of all lag.

[IAML3G]

yes pes commentators

[koolio1234567898]

I don't like watching soccer, but i really want this game

[OMGz1122]

is china included in the game?

[IAML3G]

@OMGz1122 199 nations are in this game so i presume yes

[afgfahim90]

@OMGz1122

Afghanistan is in the game to ofcourse China is too

[mrlovingfriend]

@asdfowns what do you mean? If your speaking about people calling it 'football' and not 'soccer' then your wrong.

[YBJ2008]

FOOTBALL NOT SOCCER!!!

[pezza010]

A glaring error I've just noticed, pretty superficial though - the England team has the old away kit. Plus, half the flags behind the goal when Lampard takes the penalty are Union Jacks (pretty rare at England games - almost all are St. George).

Looks decent though, but I think I'll wait for Fifa 11

[Lorric101]

Does anyone know what the music at the start of the vid is called please?

[Lorric101]

That starts at 0:14?

[edinburgh96]

@Lorric101 Wavin Flag by K'naan is the name of the song

[Lorric101]

@edinburgh96 No, that starts at 0:14. That Wavin' Flag thing is completely different, no song lyrics in the one that starts at 0:14.

[jokernotfunny]

i didn't know wayne rooney can review video game

[fackafacka]

It is time for England to actually win a world cup again, or just stop considering yourselfs one of the teams with chances to get one , because the whole "we are the best at soccer" shit does not work when you are a looser ...

[08havoc08]

@fackafacka Well could be worse, we could have a team as bad as the USA.

[MrJodete23]

Chile is not as well represented here the players are not real life-like and our uniform is not the real one but that could be because there will be realism updates that you can download to update the uniform and players. altought Marcelo Bielsa is just like on real life

[CRMHFC]

Why is there always an argument about football vs soccer? Fact is that Americans play a game where only one player out of about 25 can kick it. Makes sense to call it football. Not doing much to put away the stereotypical dumb American.

[CRMHFC]

Gutted Andy Gray's not in it.

Not.

[mcriss79]

i haven't bought a soccer game since winning eleven 8 for ps2,so this shit was amazing to play when i picked it up for ps3...i would recommend it for any1.

[Thedriffter1]

I know there might be improvements but is it really worth it footy fans ? Im not a football fan but I love football games like Pro evolution soccer 2 on PS2 and FIFA 10 on PS3, but surley this aint worth 40 pounds just to add a world cup theme over FIFA 10 ? am I right is it worth having if you have FIFA 10 and your not a football fan ?

[bruddafromanuddamudd]

@CoolColorOfRed im not trying to force you into calling it soccer all im saying is ive grown up with soccer, soccer is all around me its whats its called here so YOU should be the one to stop trying to force me into saying football. i dont care if thats what you say ive grown up with it being called soccer so i dont want to change any more than you do

[soontobe1982]

@bruddafromanuddamudd in europe we call it football, and lets be honest about it, its europe that really counts when it comes to football. barcelona, arsenal, bayern munich, inter milan, greatest clubs in the world, germany are 3 times champions of the world, italy are 4 times.... the mls is disgracefully bad and the us "soccer" team routinely make hard work of el salvador and the likes, last time i was in america the only football i seen onn tv was some lame ass mexican league match

[bruddafromanuddamudd]

@soontobe1982 i know europe is the world power i dont deny it but that doesnt mean that people here in australia and in the US who like soccer cant enjoy it like everyone else. im not saying australia will win the world cup im just saying i like playing soccer as much as anyone in europe so i will call it wat i want

[soontobe1982]

@bruddafromanuddamudd the world governing body of the sport calls itself FIFA. Federation de International Football Association. Argument-over.

[bruddafromanuddamudd]

@soontobe1982 yeah so what? i heard that australias real name is the "The Peoples Republic of Australia" but nobody cares or bothers about that shit. and soccer is a cultural thing and if FIFA didnt want to embrace other cultures they wouldnt have given the world cup to RSA. they would have given it to italy or argentina and shared it around the big nations. they also would have banned the vuvuzela if they didnt want to accept other cultures

[soontobe1982]

@bruddafromanuddamudd yeah ok, true enough, its the worlds game, its irelands game as much as australias....except....we have to play the likes of france and italy to even qualify....when the aussies take on the super powers of eh...bahrain and saudi arabia....

[bruddafromanuddamudd]

@soontobe1982 i know you do. i am just so very sorry for our geographical location.

[SuperhelterYNWA]

Finally, a footie game that i absolutely adore again! Havenn't enjoyed a footie game so much since PES6, and this is even better! I was always a major major pro evo fan, hated Fifa but since next gen have been about PES series have been shite whilst Fifa have been improving, still didnt feel much love for Fifa though but if this is a taste of what fifa11 has to offer then i cnt wait! This is awesome!

[SuperhelterYNWA]

lol *Haven't

[GrimLCorleone]

@SuperhelterYNWA Same. Was always a PES fan ever since the days it was ISS Pro on the PS1. This gen though, FIFA and PES have swapped places. Now FIFA's the realistic sim, and PES is the arcade game. This is my fav footie game, gameplay wise since PES5. However, I have renewed hope for PES 2011 as I just read about all the improvements. On paper it sounds immense.

[SuperhelterYNWA]

@GrimLCorleone @GrimLCorleone I cant understand how PES can get as bad as its got. They killed it on PS2, was so addictive, you could play master league for hours n hours, was amazing. PES have failed big time on next gen consoles so I thought i'd rent Fifa 09 to see what that was like and it was better to be honest, still didnt quite live up to the glory days of PES but 2010 World cup does, its an amazing game! Playing mates and tournaments against computer is fun again, where u see pes11 info?

[FiRsTClass101]

Guys stop the ignorance who cares if it's called soccer or football or futbol or bafana bafana lol...every country has it's own name ok? I'm Colombian but i don't bash on the American term word "soccer" for "football" for the English. Who cares? We are all going to forget about that once the World Cup begins! :)

[bruddafromanuddamudd]

@CoolColorOfRed yeah i get that it was called football before soccer but its sort of like saying the meaning of 'gay' is still happy. times change is all im saying

[koreanpakistan32]

I'm an american football player and dont really enjoy *soccer*

but when it's Fifa my blood boils to cheer on korea.

love fifa just cause of it's international aspect. really gets me hyped up its like i start to love soccer outrageously no matter who plays

[RifSamah]

its better than fifa 10.. graphics are better. and gameplay is a lot more intense

[gothenqcowboys]

My mates Fifa 10 impressed me so much that i traded my PES2010 for this game today. Very happy! Go the Socceroos! :-)

[Rockerzx360]

My chance to get Malaysia to the world cup finals! haha

[RifSamah]

@Rockerzx360 too bad brunei isnt in there

[AwsmSausmPausms]

of course the only british guy at gamestop reviews the soccer game.

[FarrellyBoii]

i wonder if teres a handball nd get away wit it mode?

[Northweeeezie]

@FarrellyBoii LOL

[meesterkratos]

@FarrellyBoii thats only if you're playing with france lol

[Ineedwords1121]

@FarrellyBoii LMAO! That should be an option when playing with Urugauy!

[FarrellyBoii]

@Ineedwords1121 at least the uruguay player gt sent off nd ghana gt a peno:(

[Shortee09o]

unfortunatley this game really doesnt catch my attention. Being a HUGE fan of Soccer. Fifa 10 kept me hooked for a good month or more. I recently downloaded World Cup South Africa on my Xbox and it disappointed me, just as much as Pro Evolution 2010 did. I might Rent it just to get a better feel on the WHOLE game however its a rental for me. My opinion.

[SirSexyAlot]

Try to beat off side traps?

...Try to... BEAT OFF!?

This game is fucking gay, do NOT purchase this game as it likes it rough from big hairy men!

[bruddafromanuddamudd]

@SirSexyAlot i love this game! its awesome!

[ReliableLojic]

Commentary is better then Martin tyler and Andy Gray? Are you serious?....well, you might be right. lol

[creepystranger007]

no matter the name, soccer, football..it's still a beautiful game. In itself, not the videogame, which in turn looks good aswell. :)

[HamadaLFC8]

Austria will win the World Cup...... 2014 of course :P

[overheatedpc]

algeriaaaaa for the win , one two three viva l'algerie

[thesouthafricanguy]

South Africa FWT!

[SOLIDSNAKEXXX360]

soccer is a little fag girls sport

[blackwolfone1]

@SOLIDSNAKEXXX360 NHL lover don't like it don't look at it.

[VogueMraz]

@SOLIDSNAKEXXX360 and you can't play soccer which make you a..

[darkeststorm]

hmmm i'm not too convinced... -_- maybe i'll just wait till the nxt fifa game *sigh*

[timmyturner158]

@darkeststorm i kno fifa games r getting 2 repititive i mean i honestly think theyve made 2010 fifa world cup worse than fifa 10 and fifa 10 was first class! 2010 fifa world cup just doesnt do it for me with the crap gameplay and commentary. the graphics look lyk fifa 09(worse than fifa 10 in realism) and it IS NOT more realistic than fifa 10..end of.

[n00berania]

I just noticed that the guy who reviewed this in Machinima is also named Justin! And I'M named Justin. Maybe this is a sign that I'm destined for soccer.

[lexacost]

cant wait to see the first game of the worldcup!!

there is no doubt about it

SOCCER IS THE BEST SPORT EVER!!!

[orionpk]

lolsportgames

[CARLiNNiT]

Quite simply the greatest sport on the planet. Party atmosphere will be in full swing on June 11th. Also, It's FOOTBALL! Seriously.

[bruddafromanuddamudd]

@CARLiNNiT GET THE FUCK OVER YOURSELF. FOOTBALL/SOCCER ARE NAMES. THEY ARE THE SAME GAME. IT. DOESNT. MATTER.

[CARLiNNiT]

@bruddafromanuddamudd Caps lock is not cool. And no, it's football. Plain and simple. Anything else is actually quite disrespectful in the UK.

[bruddafromanuddamudd]

@CARLiNNiT i was in the uk for a holiday last year and there was a show called 'soccer am'. the uk should just get over itself

[oldschoolraptor]

GO GHANA GO 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[basilone200]

the united states dosn't like soccer

[edinburgh96]

@basilone200 then how come they had 55,000 fans in Philly today cheering on the USA and how come the USA have sold more World Cup tickets for South Africa than any other nation (apart from the hosts)?

[bruddafromanuddamudd]

@basilone200 then why is clint dempsey one of the better players in the world? why did so Many USA fans go to south africa. if you were in south like i was you would know that plenty of americans like soccer

[lordyrich]

biggest sport in the world. I love the world cup month

[cik105]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA New Zealand. Lcuky from them we left the Oceania pool huh? =P

[EDKsurly]

Up the IRONS!

[dude4Glitches]

ITS FOOTBALL!

[bruddafromanuddamudd]

@dude4Glitches OH SHUT UP!

[goo1ey]

good video! looks awesome and hard and people who hate soccer games! let others enjoy the vid don't ruin it for them u idiots!

[justice4all72]

GO ENGLAND 2010!!!!

[asdfowns]

Why do you soccer haters keep watching videos of soccer? Bunch of idiots.

[JuicyFrucht]

@asdfowns It's FOOTBALL

[asdfowns]

@JuicyFrucht Futebol / Soccer. Not FOOTBALL.

[JuicyFrucht]

@asdfowns omg lol. dont call it soccer. ure propably one of those americans that think their weird tackling game is the only football. why do they even call it football. they only use the foot to kick it miles away. lol. call it futebol fussball or football but not soccer

wow i just wasted my time writing this...

[asdfowns]

@JuicyFrucht Yes you did waste your time because you are some dumbass foreigner please go get your greencard before you come on here posting about sports. Soccer is what it's called for Americans. Other countries have different names so get over it already you faggot.

[IAML3G]

@asdfowns football?

[DevilmanAltair]

who plays those sports games ? come on these days only a little amount of people actually enjoying playing these and the others who buy these most the just do it because they like football

[slachx2]

Fuck soccer and its players, people stop being soccer's slaves , the only winners are the players who get millions of dollars/Euro while people cry when the team loose

[bruddafromanuddamudd]

@slachx2 so your saying teams never win? you said the only winners were people who get money while the teams loses. but if one team loses another wins and that brings people together, it brings them joy and happiness, its peoples passion, they love it, they feel the emotion. if your dont have a passion for anything your missing out mate

[slachx2]

@bruddafromanuddamudd nah I didn't say my team , i don't care about my team either , I meant whatever team, I think soccer as a game is overrated and they spend too much money on it for what for entertainment ,also I hate how people get mad and even can fight about a team , especially about Euro teams: , EX : Barcelona /real , the previous yea there was almost a political conflict between Algeria and Egypt ,about what ? a soccer match ,insults on TV channels and all it just super dumb

[bruddafromanuddamudd]

@slachx2 hey i think that money and soccer being so results and winning focused has ruined it slightly i agree. its the same problem rugby union had last year. all anyone cared about was results. i think if soccer becomes about entertaining, having fun and letting people enjoy themselves then it will be alot better.

[DiegoFox4]

Chile

[IG9Gaming]

For somebody who doesn't know what a true king of sports like football is the game might look boring.

[nintendude57]
