Fifa World Cup All-Video Game Team

The Fifa World Cup is underway and the eyes of the Futbol world are on Russia. With the first round drawing to a close, there has already been excitement with Mexico beating the favorites in Germany and Croatia dismantling Argentina to advance to the next round.

There has yet to be a team that has established themselves early on as the favorite to win the tournament. That has lead to the idea being proposed of creating an 11 person (or creature) squad from the video game realm that would dominate these games and win the World Cup. Unlike Fifa, this team will not discriminate based on gender of species.
This team will be running a 4-4-2 formation. This means there will be 4 defensive players, 4 midfielders and 2 strikers or attacking players. As a fan of the World Cup only I am told once every four years that this is the optimal lineup. There will also be the goalie listed whose job is to protect the net and stop the other team from scoring.

Goalie:
Whomp (Super Mario)– He has speed and size to block any shot. He works alone at times and has the aggression that a great goalie needs to succeed. The only problem is there are issues with lateral quickness.

Defense:
Waluigi (Super Mario)- Tall, quick and has experience in competitive sports and team activities. Unlike a certain video game franchise, we do not overlook his value.
Hitmonlee (Pokemon)– Is an expert with their legs and has a head that would block any cross a team puts in the box.
Epona (Legend of Zelda)– Is very quick and big, has no arms so a handball resulting in a penalty kick is no issue at all.
Hydra (Dark Souls)– Much like Epona they have no hands but also many heads to help block shots and cover a lot of ground defensively.
Midfield:
Chun Li, Dhalsim, Blanca and M. Bison (Street Fighter)-

These four have chemistry together and that is key for a solid and productive midfield squad. Chun Li is proven to be good with her feet and kicking balls. Dhalsim has the length to help cover the field on any fast breaks. Blanca has the size of a defensive midfielder and the Brazilian genes to back it up. Finally M. Bison is a natural leader and with the games being in Russia may provide other advantages.
Strikers:
Phoenix Wright (Ace Attorney)– He is always on the attack and looks for any weakness in his opponent. Plus he has great Futbol hair.
Christiano Ronaldo (Fifa 2018)– The guy is the goat after all and is an easy choice for the team.
This is what the ideal Futbol team looks like. You do not have to like it but damn you have to respect it.

Rocket League to Replace Cars with People

Rocket League- the game of cars playing soccer, is being reworked for 2018. The developers have been unhappy with the “cars playing soccer” mechanic, and are going to be replacing the cars with people.

The game will now involve people running around at lighting speed and throwing themselves at a giant ball to score goals.

While this game seems, interesting, to say the least, many wonder what the difference between this and FIFA.

Happy New Year, Rocket League developers. Maybe take this resolution off your list.

Fifa ’18 Officials Currently Being Investigated for Corruption

REAL JOB [BFN] With the recent drawing of groups for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the World is once again excited and in love with Joga Bonito (or Soccer as it is more commonly known). This was short lived due to the officials of Fifa once again having the spotlight put on them.

The word coming down after a roughly two month investigation is that the officials in the latest installment of the Fifa franchise are now being investigated for corruption. The charges seem to stem from “calling bulls**t fouls” to flat out “cheating”.

These allegations were first brought up when an Xbox One user by the name of “MessiRoom02” came forward to BFN to compalin about the officiating in the game after a four to nil loss during a game against the CPU. They stated that: “This game is cheating. These refs never give me any calls and always call a foul on my players. This is complete bul**sh*t.” When asked by us if they believe the officials are truly corrupt or maybe it was the players not playing up to par. MessiRoom02 became angry and made several claims to having sexual relations with our reporters mother.
