I've never really been a huge fan of Soccer too much. To me its such a difficult sport to play and at first I didn't fully understand the game. I do love watching the game though. You would think coming from a Nigerian family that I would be into football but not so much. You see how I just called it football? As Americans we label the sport Soccer but people around the world call it football. Now we just can't call it football because we already have a sport that's labeled that. The rest of the world looks at us crazy because our version of football also includes the use of our hands multiple times. In "soccer", you actually just use your feet.
It seems we'll always be at odds with the rest of world and we'll never agree with what's real football. My dad tried to teach me the game but I was never really interested. I was brought up by American basketball and football. The reason why I didn't like the game was that the field of play was really huge which meant there were fewer chances to score. That really annoyed me. In basketball and American football you have plenty of chances to score, tie, blowout, and win the game. But over the years I've grown to love the sport. I don't actually play the game but I love to watch. I don't specifically have a team that I root for because there are like a zillion teams and many of them are good.
As far as soccer videogames are concerned my favorite one to play was FIFA 94 on the Sega CD. That game was so fun to play at the time. I would always play with Nigeria and they weren't that good on the game back then but I still enjoyed playing with them. One time I played with one of my cousins and he beat me severely. It was like a Madden blowout. The way he was making the soccer players move on the field was amazing. I wanted to play like that but I couldn't. So now because of that I shy away from playing those games.With FIFA 12 though I wouldn't mind getting back into the swing of things and trying my luck a second time around now that I have a better understanding of the game. I believe with some practice I can get a few wins or two. Well maybe. lol Check out the preview!
