EA Sports’ debuted its officially licensed FIFA video game in 1993, and has
dominated the soccer gaming market ever since. Gameplay and graphics have
improved incrementally every year and, from the very first installment, music
has played an important part in the game’s ambiance and cultural
significance.
When “The Rockafeller Skank” first played through those opening credits of
FIFA ‘ 99, one thing was certain—this song was catchy as all hell. Released the
previous year, it would become a chart-topper, with remixes and a legacy that
reached far and wide. It’s inclusion in FIFA provided the first stirrings of the
importance of cultural relevancy through the game maker’s eyes, as well as
provided just a really great work-out/video-game binge pump-up song for years to
come.
The pounding piano line. The slick, syrupy vocals. The electronic backbeat.
Oh, and the perfect timing. That’s what Lykke Li’s relationship with FIFA 09
entailed, as her cut “I’m Good, I’m Gone” found its place among the soundtrack
for the soccer gods around the time that her music and name became common
tender.
That, sir, is most impressive. If you were a lowlife like me, you'd have
spent even more of your life savings to tie your 6 picks together on a wheel and
then, when they all came home, you're up 5-digits. It does happen. But then
lowlifes like me lose enough in the bad weeks that those wins are never as great
as they sound. In any case, that's fifa 15 coins some mighty good picking.
Similar scene occurred during Uruguay's win over England at the World Cup as
Uruguayan midfielder Alvaro Pereira was injured when his head collided with the
knee of an English player. Even though he appeared to be momentarily
unconscious, Pereira remained in the game, in large part because FIFA's
antiquated substitution rules do not allow teams enough cheap fifa 15
coins time to properly evaluate players for concussions. This particular
case is a perfect example.
