England have gotten the World Cup! Football Superstars, an MMO (massively multi-player online game), has hosted a virtual World Cup tournament in which England have won – despite the fact the real 2010 South African World Cup ended poorly for the England team, the virtual team managed to play a whole lot better.

Football Superstars holds a massively multi-player online football Wold Cup; this year’s champions 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 German v England match took place in the group stages, with the virtual team managing to finish with a 1-1 draw, a much better result than the 4-1 loss in South Africa. The German team failed to recover from the loss and saw themselves out of the tournament in the group stages after being unable to best the Ukraine, losing 2-1 in a close match. In order to get to the Semi Finals, England were forced to face Portugal, a team they now have a history with – because of earlier questionable actions in matches, England were feeling good thanks to the 9-1 win over Lithuania in the Quarter Finals. England headed off adequately and went on the offensive; the game was decided in the midfield where England managed to hold onto the ball for longer than the Portuguese, eventually creating more opportunities and scoring 4 goals, while only letting in 2 themselves. The score ended 4-2, and England headed to the final. The final was wish Russia and went over well for the English; in less than one minute, a goal was ripped from the Russians without much of a defense. The Russian team fast retaliated, knowing they needed to equalize quickly to be within a shot, and so they did. Scoring a goal from an interception after a bad clearance by the England keeper, the Russians became even; however, it was short-lived, as an almost identical goal was scored by the England team at the other end. Though Russia did their best to get back in the game and had some promising counter attacks, the end result went England’s way as they managed to land a number of goals. The Russian team showed a lot of energy, but were simply out matched and seemed unable to muster the energy needed to turn the game around. In the end, after a grueling game, the final whistle blew, and for the first time, England were the World Cup Winners for the Football Superstars MMO fantasy football games. Commenting on the event Andre Ruddick the CyberSports Community Manager labelled it a huge success, thanks to the fervor of all those involved and the great organization from each team. It had been the most substantial event hosted to date by Football Superstars. He stopped things by thanking everybody taking part in the event and congratulated the England team for the fantastic level of play they had shown throughout the tournament. There might be another World Cup tournament later on this year.
