Interview with Juan Anders.
February 13, 2008
Fifa Informer chatted with one of the most important communty sites for FIFA games., Juan Anders, WebMaster of the successful community site FIFA Mexico and FIFA America

Tell us about FIFA México?
FIFA Mexico was actually not founded by me it was originally founded by 3 people Medina, Skeep and Footix. In 2004 they all went their separate ways and left FIFA Mexico. With that came a couple of year of just having a forum and the page almost disappearing. I took over and started motivating the talented people there and Thanks to all their help FIFA Mexico is back on it’s feet and getting better than ever
Favorite Football team?
Club America of Mexico City.
Favorite online team?
Same as above although I always get my butt kicked by people using better teams I’ve tried 5 star rated teams and still the same result so I stick to America.
Best FIFA moment?
When EA Sports Finally listened and added Mexican league teams to FIFA 2005.
Worst moment?
It’s going to sound odd but I think the best and the worst for me were both in FIFA 2005, This game it did include the Mexican league but it’s when the series hit rock bottom in terms of gameplay Thankfully FIFA ever since that seems to be putting a lot more effort into the gameplay and we the fans can now see a change.
What´s the future of FIFA-community sites?
I think FIFA community sites are starting to boom and this is mainly because there is always a need to regionalize the game and with all the support EA is starting to give us, the future does do look bright.
What needs to be added for FIFA 09, to make FIFA México even better?
There is no doubt that the Mexican league needs to improve adding relegation and other cups to manager mode will definetly give a much needed enhancement to the Mexican League in the game. This translates to more creations from our community as well as having Online tournament where we can also have relegation just like in real life.
In five years´ time what will FIFA México be?
We will try to always be the best that we can. If we do our best and continue to do so there is no limit to what FIFA Mexico will be in five years. But we have to take it one step at a time to get there.
Who will win UEFA Euro 2008?
It’s a tough call but I would like to see Portugal or Netherlands win!
UEFA Euro 2008 from EA on April 11.
February 4, 2008
The official game of the Euro 2008 championship to feature over 50 European national teams and new captaincy mode.
EA has announced the upcoming release of UEFA Euro 2008, the official video game of the Euro 2008 football championship set to begin this summer in Austria and Switzerland.
The game will feature over 50 European national teams, meaning you’ll be able to lead your national team to European glory despite not qualifying for the event in real life – we’re looking at you England.
EA is also promising a new game mode called Captain Your Country, enabling players to put themselves on the pitch, earn the captaincy of their team and inspire their country to glory – sounds very patriotic. Players will also be able to celebrate success with new on-field interactive celebrations.
In addition to a recreation of the Euro 2008 qualifications and championship the game will feature an online mode EA is calling Battle of the Nations, offering gamers the chance to lead their country to global supremacy.
FIFA 08 offered a satisfying footy experience and EA Canada is promising a faster and more responsive game this time around.
