The virtual world has seen a different result to the World Cup than we glimpsed in South Africa 2010 – England have won the soccer online tournament. The tournament was held by Football Superstars, which is an MMO, which stands for massively multi-player online game. Unlike the real England team that was defeated by Germany in South Africa, this fantasy football team beat the entire tournament.

Football Superstars hosts a massively multi-player online football Wold Cup; this year’s winners became the England football team, who in the real world barely managed to get out of the group stages and were stopped by Germany 4-1 – in the virtual world, they took home the cup. The virtual England team faced classic rivals the Germans in the group stages, performing much better in the virtual world they managed to hold on to a 1-1 draw. The German team then went on to lose 2-1 to the Ukraine, beating them shockingly out of the fantasy football world cup in the group stages, something that would be hard to believe in the real world. The England Quarter Final game displayed a massive 9-1 stomping against Lithuania, who were just not on the same level as the England team, giving them a much needed confidence boost heading into their Semi Final game against the much anticipated Portuguese team. The game commenced strongly for the English team as they came out on the attack, the midfield saw some rough battles with England finally coming out on top, winning 4-2 in a well played game. Russia were the team to best in the final, and England knew this, going from the first whistle and managing to go 1-0 up within the first minute. However, the Russians came back quickly and forced the English into a hard game. Russia equalized thanks to an impressive goal kick and smart forward passing headers forcing the English keeper out of his box for a clearance, which was intercepted and smartly put in the back of the net while the keeper was still off his line, the final was hotting up to be a good game. England pulled ahead again thanks to a similar goal, the flood gates were opened and England could now not be stopped, more goals followed. Russia did their best and tried to counter attack but it seemed as though they had given it all they had, the Russian squad was just unable to answer the English in kind. The last whistle blew after 90 minutes, and England turned into the World Cup winners for the Football Superstars PMC tournament. Andrew Ruddick, the Community Manager at CyberSports, talked about the event, stating it was the most substantial of its kind hosted by Football Superstars, commending how dedicated and organized every team involved in the soccer games were. He stated the level of the games were fantastic, with a few really impressive matches and results. He then started to thank everybody having to do with the tournament that was a great success, and congratulate the winning England team on their awesome performances, saying they absolutely played a superb game. In a few months there will be even more World Cup tournaments to look forward to.
