England have won the World Cup! Football Superstars, an MMO (massively multi-player online game), has hosted a virtual World Cup tournament in which England have won - while the real 2010 South African World Cup ended poorly for the England team, the virtual team managed to play a whole lot better.
Football Superstars hosts a massively multi-player online football Wold Cup; this year’s champions were the England football team, who in the real world barely managed to get out of the group stages and were stopped by Germany 4-1 - in the virtual world, they took home the cup. The virtual England team faced classic rivals the Germans in the group stages, performing much better in the virtual world they managed to hold on to a 1-1 draw. The German team then continued only to lose 2-1 to the Ukraine, beating them shockingly out of the fantasy football world cup in the group stages, something that would be hard to believe in the real world. England had an effortless route through to the Semi Finals, as they absolutely annihilated Lithuania 9-1 in the Quarters, completely outclassing the team. The Semi Finals saw them face off against Portugal, a team they carry a history with. The game kicked off with England going on the offense immediately, forming a number of chances throughout the game - in the end the midfield battle was won by the England team and they managed to finish the game with a nice 4-2 win. They then progressed to fight the Russian team in the World Cup Final, a dangerous team that absolutely wanted to win this tournament. Unfortunately for the Russians, however, the game got off to a poor start for them as England scored within the first minute. However, the Russians pushed back quickly and forced the English into a hard game. Russia equalized thanks to an impressive goal kick and smart forward passing headers forcing the English keeper out of his box for a clearance, which was intercepted and smartly put in the back of the net while the keeper was still off his line, the final was hotting up to be a good game. England pulled ahead again thanks to a similar goal, the flood gates were opened and England could now not be stopped, more goals followed. Russia did their best and tried to counter attack but it seemed as though they had given it all they had, the Russian squad was just unable to answer the English in kind. By 90 minutes, England ended on top and had happily become the Football Superstars PMC World Cup winners for their first time.
