Soccer is the most gayest sport alive. coach "hey ronaldo, why weren't u at practice yesterday?". Ronaldo "well it was a little chilly outside and i didnt want to catch a cold." Fucking UK playing their gay wussy sport.

MrSadistic: He wins the whole Internet as far as I'm concerned.

Can't say I'm surprised really - I'm surprised to see Wii Play so high up, although the reason it's sold so well is due to the "free" wiimote, rather then the game itself.

I'm quite sad to not see any real Wii games up there though.

Soccer

Futbol.

Soccer (aka 'Futbol') suck, Baseball sucks, Football is okay, etc. Sports are overrated. Mostly involving ass patting and roid rage, well, the roid rage would probably be most American sports. I can't picture many Soccer players shooting up.

Roflcopter Pilot: r u serious soccer sucks, there's no action, the ball goes one way, then the other. and then someone finally takes a shot and it misses the 50 yard wide net. now ping pong thats a sport.

I love Football (aka Soccer) but I hate FIFA games, why do so many people pay out for a game that is the same as last years version but with a new player line up.

Jim, vp360, you two just spoke the gospel as far as I'm concerned. Living in Britain, I'm god damned SICK of football being like a religion.

It's like Halo 3 to many of you: "average game" that wouldn't earn your hate on it's own merits. Coupled with the MASS HYPE and OBSESSION, however, people hate it. Can't blame you anymore.

I still want to see some Steam sales figures so we can see how much and where the OB is being bought

Europe and South America. Those places are full of simple minded fools! Watching guys in tiny shorts kick a ball into a net. Jobs have been lost, marriages ending in divorce. Lives ruined on account of this silly sport.

England prevail! England needs more brain training games. It seems that two isn't enough.

Just noticed that this is entitled England hates!

As a proud Welshman i call on Jim to make the title more encompassing of the whole country! I am sure many in Wales love FIFA and hate BioShock!

Those hairy goblets can go do some pud wrestling. Screw Fußball and the bastards the play it. *stomps to corner and rocks in fetal position*

haha... Smackdown made it...Whats going on over there?

once again the 'casuals' show that they can outbuy the 'real' gamers with any piece of crap they see fit!

Roflcopter Pilot is totally right. Futbol is the greatest sport in the world. I don't see any other World Cup that attracts so many fans, helps a country's economy so much, and entizes so many people in the world when it comes to the other sports.

I'm surprised Jim thinks it's boring... England's league is one of the best leagues, right up there with Spain's.

Also, I hate how FIFA is totally losing the arcady feel and becoming more like PES.

Oh, and Assassin's Creed is there. Maybe I'll check it out...

and American football is tied with basketball for most boring sport. American football is stopped every 10 secs (although it can still be interesting sometimes), and Basketball pretty much goes "one team scores then the other team scores".

sorry for double post

So what?? \why do you care what other people are doing? Are you all so insecure you can't accept that people on the opther side of the world don't like the sane things as you? Football as in soccer is the biggest sport in the world. Typical Amurcans to think that they are the only ones in the world with opinions that matter.

to be honest i think most sports suck ... the only sport i like watching is tennis(and thats when the women are playing :P) .. i mean cmon .. anyone who would rather be out in the cold playing football than inside, relaxing playing bioshock or any other GOOD non-sports game must be insane xD

Fucking chavs, football is only good when you're playing it, or watching the best team in the world play (Arsenal of course)
Why no Orange Box? At least Halo 3 and CoD4 was in there.

Most of you guys raining on football (or soccer to you perhaps) is bs, but your opinion is respected.

So, Soccer is crap apparently. Try telling that to all the nations across the planet that play it, and don't play American Football (which in truth is modified Rugby with shiny helmets). Its one of the best sports to play as a team. Understandable, its not for everyone, but its calling it gay and such when you've never played it or try to understand it is just pure ignorance. As for the football kit, its the same as its always been, simple shirt, shorts, sock n' boots. Exactly the same kind of stuff used to play Rugby infact, Does that make Rugby gay? If it does to you, that then makes American Football indirectly gay (don't forget where your yank game comes from).

Do you want to know why Fifa is number one? Its because in the online play is superb over Live, that's what everyone is doing with the game, when not working their way through the single player game. Fifa has also raised its game to Pro Evo over the last three years and actually got better. I play Fifa online and its a lot of fun, especially 4 vs 4 players over Live, the game really shines.

Soccer is a hard game to be good at, be it actual real life play or just a game. Being on your legs for 90 minutes flat is no picnic, but a lot of fun, if you are prepared to let it be.

If any of you yanks have anything you don't get about soccer and I'll try to explain it to you. All you have to do is ask and open your mind a bit. The funny thing is I'm a very worldly kind of person and watch different sports, not just american ones.

Lastly, the beauty and simplicity of football (soccer) is that all you need to play it is a round ball (hell even a crush beer can will do these days). Be you barefoot and poor you can still play, whereas many other sports require expensive equipment.

Don't take those charts as gospels of taste anyway. I never do as its just popularity sales numbers, not what we like or hate. Call of Duty was number one recently.

*Someone looking at WoW and other pc games at the shelf*

Typical UK scally lad looks at him: "why the f*** is he lookin' at 'goff' games."

This is why games like bio shock dont get bought cos they take one look at the front cover and think, thats a goth game.

Seriously wtf?
