Hi there.

Believe it or not, this review was all set to go live at a suitably relevant point last week, but, as regular readers may have noticed, we had a few technical hiccups to sort out.

Anyway, the big international footy thing was in the winter this year, for all kinds of dubious reasons. Here’s a reminder of a late 90s summer tournament, as we go back and revisit EA’s World Cup 98.

This also means a new entry in, and a revision of, the FFG Football League standings. Which, in spite of my attempts to pick and choose titles from the Electronic Arts stable and set each one in context, nevertheless now has a rather FIFA-heavy section in the lower-mid reaches of the top division. Ah well.

(Oh, and in case this is our last post before Christmas and/or the end of the year, I’ll take the opportunity to wish all our readers the best for the festive season. Thanks, as always, for reading).
