A prophetic victory as an Englishman wins the FIFA Interactive World Cup 2005 competition...
Sure to be seen as a sign by some of the English population, Chris Bullard of Ipswich has been announced FIFA Interactive World Player 2005 after winning the FIFA Interactive World Cup 2005. Bullard attended the FIFA World Player Gala in Zurich, Switzerland last night as part of an all expenses trip courtesy of FIFA and Electronic Arts.
Winning the annual competition following a 5-2 win over fellow finalist Hungarian Gabor Mokos, Bullard (who played as England) had Frank Lampard sent off early in the game but thanks to a hat-trick from Wayne Rooney, went on to win.
An ecstatic Bullard enthused, "The whole tournament was simply brilliant. It means so much to me that I was able to win this tournament for my country. This is simply a dream come true and easily the best moment of my life. I did not think I could win after my favourite player Frank Lampard was sent off in the 24th minute. Now I can represent England on stage with the big stars and maybe even stand next to my idol Frank Lampard."
Congratulations to Chris Bullard whose incredible skills on the virtual football pitch of EA SPORTSTM FIFA 06: Road to FIFA World Cup has brought him the well-deserved title of FIFA Interactive World Player 2005", said Clive Downie, Vice President Sports Marketing, EA Europe. "It's been exciting to work with our close partners at FIFA and Xbox to fulfil a football fan's dream of being considered the best in the world in their favourite sport."
Richard Teversham, EMEA Product Marketing Director for Xbox said, "As the official Licensed Video Game Console of the 2006 FIFA World CupTM we are committed to delivering our fans experiences that bring football to life via gaming in new and exciting ways. This years FIWC tournament is testament to that pledge and with over 2 million Xbox Live members sharpening their virtual football skills online, we knew the competition was going to be extremely fierce this year. Bullard proved himself to be a true football star and thoroughly earned the right to be crowned FIFA Interactive World Player 2005 at the FIFA World Player Gala".
