Modified report claims: FIFA under attack

A breaking news shocks the football’s world governing body, whcih is related to UEFA and FIFA president Sepp Blatter, claimed by a modified report, causing a stir actually.  This news even makes football reforms was watered down in a sense!

Blatter faces strong opposition from European federations.

UEFA spokesman Pedro Pinto said allegations in German media showed that FIFA’s Independent Governance Committee “was anything but independent.”

Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein, one of three candidates standing against Blatter for the FIFA leadership, said: “There does appear to be evidence of interference in the drafting of the so-called independent Pieth report by FIFA.”

German magazine Der Spiegel reported that criticism of Blatter by independent governance committee chairman Mark Pieth was removed from his final report by FIFA’s chief lawyer Marco Villiger.

Blatter set up the committee in 2011 after a series of scandals.

Der Spiegel said passages which questioned Blatter’s leadership were removed from Pieth’s draft.

Text which linked Blatter to the ISL scandal, in which ex-president Joao Havelange and other senior FIFA figures were accused of taking bribes from the federation’s former marketing partner, were also removed the report said.

Pieth said he was aware of the changes to his 15-page draft report, which Villiger returned with 37 notes, as well as amendments and deletions.

“That is a normal process, FIFA has a principal right to hear what we publish about them,” Pieth told Der Spiegel.

Pinto, spokesman for UEFA president Michel Platini, said on Twitter: “The latest revelations regarding the Pieth report show that FIFA’s Independent Governance Committee was anything but independent.

“UEFA has always wondered why it was criticised by Mr Pieth and wrongly accused of blocking FIFA reforms.

“Now we understand why and where it all came from.”

Prince Ali, a FIFA vice president, linked the case to his demands for the publication of a report by US lawyer into the voting process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups which went to Russia and Qatar.

He said in a statement that the media reports “are a reminder of why we need Michael Garcia’s report into FIFA’s World Cup bidding process to be published in full.”

FIFA under attack

“There does appear to be evidence of interference in the drafting of the so-called independent Pieth report by FIFA. This is deeply worrying and suggests something is not right at the heart of FIFA governance.

“Without publishing the Garcia report in full, FIFA faces the ongoing public suspicion that interference may also have occurred in that case.”

Having been elected FIFA president in 1998, the 78-year-old Blatter is bidding for a fifth term in an election to be held on May 29 at a FIFA Congress.

Blatter is standing against Prince Ali, former Portuguese star Luis Figo and Dutch FA president Michael van Praag.

FIFA said that its Ad-hoc Electoral Committee had “formally admitted and declared the candidates eligible” for the vote.

All four “underwent an integrity check” by the investigatory chamber of FIFA’s Ethics Committee, said the statement.

Disappointing news: EA server was down again yesterday

I’m speechless that EA’s poor server was down again on February 8, 2015, which annoyed a lot of fans of FIFA including me! I can’t connect to the server and ultimate team mode is not available for most players too, what makes me angry more? I can’t buy any FIFA 15 Coins even, which stops me from buying a Singapore defender.

Update 12:50 AM: EA Servers are reportedly down and disgruntled gamers are raging on social media. EA recently had issues with the server two days ago, and are now suffering issues with FUT and other online game modes. Reports are currently coming in that Battlefield 4 and Madden 2015 are also experiencing significant issues.

Update 4:30 AM: It seems server issues have been resolved. EA Sports FIFA has made no comment on the server issues on their official Twitter page.

Update 8:00 AM: Still reports that servers are down, but it seems most people are back up and running.

EA server down, FIFA 15

There has been a huge spike in complaints over the past hour on Facebook and Twitter, as well as over 2000 reports have been made on Downdetector within the last hour. Gamers in the UK, France, Australia and the US have reported technical difficulties signing on to the servers.

At the time of this publication several visitors to Full FIFA have reported that they are unable to play FIFA 15 online friendlies, seasons or Ultimate Team. One frustrated gamer stated “Love how ea only responds when their product is for sale.” An unfortunate gamer share their frustration “Having this issue since last 2 days in fifa 15 on ps3.
tell me any fix ASAP!”

“The EA servers are not available at this time. Please try again later,” is the message FIFA players are getting when trying to play online.

Latest batch of FIFA 15 winter transfers

The latest round of winter transfers was released by EA Sport, which have been confirmed already. It is no doubt that the break news of this transfer is that Colombian winger Juan Cuadrado going to a member of Chelsea, which really shocks some fans of Juan Cuadrado.

latest batch, winter transfer

Cuadrado moved to Chelsea on transfer deadline day from Fiorentina with Mohamed Salah going the other way on loan, another deal that has been confirmed.

Fans will be thrilled to finally get to play with Cuadrado who brings five star skills to the already impressive line-up that Chelsea possess.

He’s also got plenty of pace and it’s likely that many players will use him on the right wing in place of Willian although he could even play at right-back if you were feeling particularly adventurous.

Andre Schurrle’s move from the Blues to Wolfsburg is also in there as are a number of deals completed on transfer deadline day.

latest batch, winter transfer

These include Sebastian Giovinco’s move to Toronto from Italian champions Juventus after his contract with the Turin giants was terminated early.

Also on the list are Robert Huth’s loan from Stoke to Leicester, Yann M’Vila’s return to Rubin Kazan, Darren Fletcher’s transfer from Manchester United to West Brom and Davide Santon’s loan back to Inter Milan from Newcastle United.

Are you satisfied with the winter transfers, why and why not?

Benzema: the biggest star of TOTW

Here comes a new Team of the Week package on FIFA 15 Ultimate Team mode, which will give players more choice and improve Ultimate Team performance. It is really necessary to release this package, because the January transfer window has closed already, Ultimate Team needs some new blood actually.

Benzema, big star, FIFA 15

The biggest star of the pack is Benzema, the attacker from Real Madrid who is often overshadowed by Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo but is the reason for much of his team’s success.

The attacking line is made up of another two players, Menez and Quagliarella, both solid choices.

The midfield again features four big stars, with Mesut Ozil on the left, Cabella on the right, and De Bruyne and Rafinha holding down the midfield.

There are three defenders featured in the FIFA 15 Team of the Week: Williams, Diego Figueiras and Pereira.

The goalkeeper, an often overlooked but crucial part of any solid team, is Iraizos.

Gamers can always pick up a full complement of reserves, most of whom will probably end up on the market in order to get access to more funds that can in turn be used to acquire better first team stars.
FIFA 15 has all the winter transfers already implemented

Benzema, big star, FIFA 15

January is done and that means real world clubs have already spent their money in order to secure players that can help them reach their objectives in the coming months.

All the roster changes have already been included in FIFA 15 by the developers at EA Sports, meaning that Cuadrado can now be used in the first eleven of Chelsea and that other players can also perform for their actual teams.

The developers have long resisted calls from the community to introduce another patch to tweak gameplay and it is entirely possible that this version of the game will be the one the community will play for the coming months.

It is very important for EA Sport to retain all his fans and continue to play the game, which brings them a lot of money!

As always, EA will be keeping a close eye on the action as they prepare to put the FIFA 15 transferred players into the database as soon as possible.

The developer has been very swift this year, by moving players around almost instantly after they have moved – we saw evidence of this with the likes of Wilfried Bony and Samuel Eto’o, who are now no longer at Swansea and Everton respectively.

The question is, who are you expecting to see in a last minute FIFA 15 deadline day transfer update? There’s a lot of buzz surrounding Danny Ings to Liverpool, while Manchester United fans may not be happy to hear that Januzaj may be moving to Everton on loan.

Meanwhile Chelsea FC fans are sweating on a possible Juan Cuadrado deal and Man City may be trying to secure a move for Real Madrid’s Pepe.

classical 4-4-2 is no longer strong

8:00 AM. I decided to play the FIFA 15 with my friend on PlayStation. Bayern is my favorite team in the game, I love them best, while my friend is a fan of PSG. We both use our favorite team to fight against each other. I have chosen Thomas Muller and Robert Lewandowski to began the game, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani was a  choice of my friend.

classical 4-4-2, no strong

9.00 AM. After four games, we paused for a while. Upon pausing, the screen showed PSG’s team-sheet in full splendor. What a perfectly balanced team. Two pacey wingers in Ezequiel Lavezzi and Lucas Moura. A genuine deep lying playmaker and an industrious box to box man in midfield – Marco Verratti and Blaise Matuidi is a central midfield pairing made in heaven.

The four at the back picked themselves, with him playing Serge Aurier and Lucas Digne on the flanks, while David Luiz and Thiago Silva marshalled the defence. I looked at the squad with envy. And then, I started wondering. Why do they play the 4-3-3, when they have a squad so wonderfully suited for the 4-4-2? And mind you, this wasn’t Laurent Blanc going nuts; sadly, this is the norm today.

classical 4-4-2, no strong

11.00 AM. I was back home and was reading the book I consider my Bible, Jonathan Wilson’s “The Anatomy of Liverpool”. One quick search on the author and I found myself being fascinated by the concepts behind his award-winning book “Inverting the Pyramid”. From Vittorio Pozzo’s Italy to Arrigo Sacchi’s Milan, the book was the Britannica of football tactics. Arrigo Sacchi’s Milan, What a team. Probably the greatest team of all-time. And their formation? 4-4-2.

Serie A titles, Intercontinental titles, European Cups, that team had won everything. Watching a few videos of that team, I was startled by how high they pressed. The team attacked and defended as a unit, with Ancelotti-Rijkaard and Gullit-Van Basten standing out for their pressing and work-rate. 4-4-2 was perfect for them, as it was for many of the greatest teams of the late ‘80s and throughout the ‘90s.

Fabio Capello’s Class of 1994, Sir Alex Ferguson’s successful team of the ‘90s with Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole up top, the great Barcelona team of the era with Romario-Stoichkov leading the line, Ronaldo-Bebeto for Brazil; needless to say, the formation ruled the roost. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and reading. It was the go-to formation of nearly every successful manager of the time. A few hours on YouTube and I was transfixed by the football played by these great sides. Time flew.

The signal of the end

2.00 PM. With every rise, comes a fall. It is as plain a fact of life as any. Hypnotised by the mesmerising football played by the exponents who took the formation to its zenith, it was time to discover the other side; time to see the formation hit rock bottom, the nadir. It was World Cup time in the summer of 2010. England was facing Germany in the World Cup R16, with the man at their helm being Fabio Capello, one of the finest proponents of the formation.

90 minutes later, his beliefs, philosophy and tactics had been torn apart by the rampant Die Mannschaft, playing the solid 4-2-3-1, which was in vogue at the time, and still is, to a certain extent. A certain Mesut Ozil exploited the gap between the imbalanced and pedestrian English midfield and defence. Four goals and a zillion postmortems later, the British journalists proclaimed in typically outspoken fashion – “The 4-4-2 is dead”.

classical 4-4-2, no strong

4.00 PM. Reading about the perceived death of a formation that was once so successful wouldn’t be complete without knowing the reasons. One quick look at all the successful teams of the last decade or so, and it was there for everyone to see – not one, not two, but a multitude of reasons came together to effectively suck the life out of the 4-4-2.

Hope for revival

These factors have conspired and coincided at more or less the same time during the noughties to consign the 4-4-2 team sheets into the done and dusted folders, more or less. The important part here is “more or less”. They haven’t become entirely redundant. Is there a chance for revival? Let’s see.

8.00 PM. After delving deep into the how’s, why’s, pros and cons of the waning influence of 4-4-2, it was perhaps time for me to mourn its death before going to sleep. Not so fast though, as one look at the 2013-14 season gave me renewed hope. Jonathan Soriano and Alan for Salzburg, Sergio Aguero and Alvaro Negredo/Edin Dzeko for Manchester City and perhaps most importantly, the SAS (Daniel Sturridge and Luis Suarez) of Liverpool were all fantastic advertisements for the strike partnership system. Needless to say, all three teams employed the 4-4-2 to great effect, instilling new hopes in the hearts of purists, who grew up watching the formation wreak havoc.

9.00 PM. It ended up being more or less of a false dawn though, as various factors worked against these clubs, resulting in them not playing the 4-4-2 anymore. Instead, a new variant of the formation was on the rise, with one of the withdrawn strikers also playing the role of a winger or trequartista, duly assisting the No. 9, as and when required. The examples of Nabil Fekir and Alexandre Lacazette for Lyon, Lionel Messi and Neymar for Barcelona and Cristiano Ronaldo-Karim Benzema pairing at Real Madrid, were all examples of a different, yet tactically flexible variant of the traditional strike duo.

classical 4-4-2, no strong

10.00 PM. So, it was time for me to rest, to sleep. And no, the brains behind the beautiful game hadn’t yet laid the 4-4-2 to rest. The time to play the dirge hadn’t yet come. The time to mourn hadn’t yet arrived. And unlike this article, the 4-4-2 hasn’t yet become a past tense phenomenon. Here’s to hoping it stays for good. Cheers.

The 4-4-2 formation is one of the most commonly used in the world game. It is an adaptable system that gives teams strength in midfield and plenty of width. But it can’t be very useful always, we need some change now!
