FIFA Earth: virtual football globe

    EA Sports has launched the FIFA Earth portal , which collects statistics for all matches from the recently released FIFA 10 game . Information is collected from the computers of all players. You can see the statistics of the most successful clubs and national teams. For example, in the world ranking, Russia has already overtaken Italy and caught up with Brazil thanks to the skill of Russian gamers.



    Now the most successful club of FIFA 10 is Chelsea, but with the coordinated efforts of thousands of players it is possible to bring the most shabby club from the Russian hinterland to world leaders.

    On a separate FIFA Earth page, all Twitter conversations with football hashtags are accumulated (the “Rumors about FIFA” page). They are applied to the globe, taking into account geographic information from twitter accounts. You can enter any word to search and read the latest posts on this topic (Cyrillic is not supported).

    According to statistics from EA Sports, last year more than two billion matches were played in the world (in parks, courtyards, stadiums, as well as online). This is 63 matches per second. You blinked and missed a few football seasons. This is the whole football universe, and virtual football is becoming an integral part of it.
