‘FIFA Soccer 10’ Launched in Chicago
Thursday, October 22, 2009
The Chicago Fire, along with their star Cuauhtémoc Blanco and Best Buy hosted the North American launch of EA Sports “FIFA Soccer 10” at the Best Buy Hancock Center store in Chicago on Oct. 19.
“I am really happy; I didn’t expect it,” said Blanco, about being selected as one of three players for the front cover of the North American edition of the game.
The next and final game of the Chicago Fire season will be at home against Chivas USA on Oct. 22 at 7 p.m. The Fire needs to win the game to be guaranteed a spot in the playoffs.
“We can’t give away these three points,” Blanco said. “It’s very important to get a victory and for the fans to come out and support the team. It will be a tough game, but we hope to get a good result.”
Blanco, alongside other Chicago Fire players, were on hand to give autographs to the fans. A tournament of “FIFA Soccer 10” was held at the store. The ultimate winner won a 42-inch Panasonic 1080p Viera HDTV.
“I sometimes play FIFA, but I am really bad,” said Blanco with a smile.
Over 1.7 million copies of the game have already been sold in Europe. The game was officially released this week in the U.S.
