There are more than a couple of dozen installments of the FIFA saga that we have been able to enjoy throughout several generations of video games and the EA Sports franchise It has evolved a lot in all these years. Now the realism that the series exudes is absolute and practically unopposed, although a couple of decades ago it dared to attract attention in very particular ways.
FIFA 2001 would have passed as just another annual installment that wouldn’t attract attention, if it weren’t for comical details as hilarious as the one that happened when you scored an own goal. As you can see in the video below, the rage is such in the team players that It hurts them twice as much as they have against.
And the frustration is such that a player will kick the ball hard, it will bounce off the nearest stick and, yes, it will hit him back in the crotch. A complete low blow that will leave him useless for a few seconds, but there are still more laughs guaranteed. Play the following video at minute 8:10 and pay close attention to the players celebrating Bayern Munich’s goal.
Sure enough, the last player on the left trying to get over the billboard trips and falls face down on the ground. Celebrating a goal with your fans must be wonderful, as long as the nasal septum stays in place. All these jokes have been lost over the years and now they only remain in FIFA 2001.
