	FIFA World Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The FIFA World Cup, sometimes called the football World Cup or the soccer World Cup, but usually referred to simply as the World Cup, is an international football competition contested by the men's national football teams of member nations of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) (the sport's global governing body).
		FIFA president Jules Rimet thus planned the inaugural World Cup tournament to be held in Uruguay in 1930.
		The 2002 FIFA World Cup (hosted jointly by Japan and Korea) was the first one held in Asia, and in 2010, South Africa will become the first African nation to host the World Cup.

	2006 FIFA World Cup for Xbox 360 Review - Xbox 360 2006 FIFA World Cup Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		2006 FIFA World Cup does a good job of re-creating the carnival atmosphere that surrounds the competition, and is a significant improvement over its 360 predecessor.
		The World Cup mode will almost certainly be your first port of call, and although its default settings see you assuming control of one of the 32 teams that qualified for the finals, it's possible to play as any of around 125 different teams from all over the world.
		Good pre-match commentary replete with World Cup trivia and anecdotes is the icing on the cake, and as your players line up on the pitch before kickoff, you feel both excited and nervous at the same time--exactly as you'd expect to before a real match.

		After resuming, the World Cup rapidly evolved to its state of full glory, rising into position as the world’s greatest sporting event, aside for the Olympics.
		Alternately held in Europe and America, since 1958, the World Cup provided a pleasant surprise in May 1996, when it was announced that the event’s 17th edition would be co-hosted by Korea and Japan in 2002.
		The World Cup Mode is, naturally, the game’s main aspect, with players being able to chose from over 120 teams world-wide, divided into continents, which they can lead to the Cup Final all the way from the Qualifying Rounds of the tournament.

	FIFA World Cup 2006 - Ferrago
		FIFA World Cup 2006 certainly isn't ultra realistic in the way it plays, in that games are always very fast paced with very much end-to-end action.
		Thankfully, FIFA's Lounge mode makes a return, allowing up to 8 players to keep track of their performances against each other over time, to allow conclusive evidence to who really is the pro and who, sadly is a 'n00b'.
		What FIFA World Cup 2006 provides is a well-rounded experience that is the official virtual compliment to the real world events commencing in the next couple of weeks.

		Having played FIFA for about 10 years and then playing both FIFA and WE8 and 9 for the last few years has left me with a somewhat sour taste in my mouth regarding EA soccer games.
		I love all the added extras (such as the facts and graphics provided individually for each country in loading screens) and the time put into the accuracy of rosters (the US roster was almost perfect as it turns out, they just released the official squad yesterday, May 2nd).
		Though not without its flaws, FIFA World Cup 2006 is very enjoyable and, at only at 30 bucks, is a steal.

	2006 FIFA World Cup Review for Xbox 360 - Pro-G
		With World Cup excitement almost reaching fever pitch, only to be lessened somewhat by the injury of England's star player, the release of EA's FIFA World Cup 2006 on every platform means that everyone can have a shot at World Cup glory.
		The World Cup mode is the obvious first choice, which lets you start from the beginning and guide your team through qualification, or lets you jump straight in to the finals.
		Unlike Road to the FIFA World Cup that was released at the Xbox 360's launch, the frame rate holds pretty steady, and the grass appears to have been cut.

		Germany is joyfully anticipating its part as host to the world's biggest and most important football competition, not only for the prestige, but also for the economic benefit.

		In 2006 FIFA World Cup, you are at the center of the action with the potential of re-writing history so that your favorite team wins.
		But the World Cup mode is where most people start, and although its default settings have you assume control of one of the 32 teams that qualified for the finals, it also includes the 95 other teams that didn't make the final cut.
		Good pre-match commentary replete with World Cup trivia and anecdotes is the icing on the cake, and as your players line up on the pitch before kickoff, you feel the excitement of the moment.

		The official game of the 2006 World Cup has all the stadiums, players and kits of the real thing, but the biggest surprise is that it actually improves upon the usual FIFA gameplay too.
		In previous years, FIFA Word Cup games have meant little more than a cut down version of the existing FIFA game, however this version features not just the 32 teams from the finals but the chance to play as any of the other 95 countries from the qualifying rounds.
		Infact the fifa 2005 game was the last one in which I scored a decent top corner free kick which was over a year ago.

	2006 FIFA World Cup (ps2: 2006): Reviews
		If you have FIFA from last year, and you're not worried about having the official World Cup Germany licensing and such, or the new Global Challenge mode, then there's isn't that big a reason to upgrade as the gameplay is pretty similar.
		2006 FIFA World Cup does a good job of re-creating the carnival atmosphere that surrounds the competition, but it suffers from frequent and obnoxious slowdown.
		All of the things EA did right with FIFA World Cup 2006 are overshadowed by the simple truth that what should be the most fun part of the game -- having exciting scoring chances -- is completely negated by shoddy game performance near the nets.

		Of course, with the world's biggest sporting event looming -- yes, it seems to draw more viewers than the Olympics, except in the States, where smug pundits write essays reinforcing the lack of American support for the US Team -- EA has dropped 2006 FIFA World Cup on damn near every platform, including PSP.
		It's got the FIFA World Cup mode, in which players can work their way from the regionals to the top, or just jump right into the brackets and go straight for the Cup.
		Where 2006 World Cup fails the player is in situations in which the action is close to the nets.

	IGN: 2006 FIFA World Cup Review
		In 2006 FIFA World, EA puts a checkmark next to almost every aspect that you would want in a World Cup title, making this year's game the most complete World Cup soccer game to date.
		Of course, World Cup games have traditionally lacked depth, usually featuring only 32 national teams in the final stages of the Cup.
		2006 FIFA World Cup is a solid soccer game that erases the mistake EA made with the shallow and unpolished FIFA 06: Road to FIFA World Cup, released on the Xbox 360 last November.
