FIFA Earth: Virtual Football Globe

EA Sports launched the FIFA Earth portal, which accumulates statistics on all matches from the recently released FIFA 10 game. Information is collected from all players' computers. 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 FIFA 10 club is Chelsea, but with the concerted efforts of thousands of players, you can bring to the world leaders the most hoarse club from the Russian backwoods.

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