Ubisoft seem to want a piece of the World Cup cash pie, not content with EA having the pitch to themselves. Ok, so this isn’t an official South Africa tie-in, but it’s international teams only and the final ends in South Africa. Coincidence? The hell it is.

It was never wrong and EA explained they couldn’t show officials to be making mistakes because of the official FIFA branding, fair enough.
