EA Use The Football Engine Behind 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa And Predict Spain Will Win The World Cup

EA have used the football engine behind the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa to predict who will win this years World Cup. EA predict that Spain will win the World Cup, beating Brazil 3-1 in the final. EA used the engine to predict every match in the World Cup, from the group stages to the final and have made the following predictions:

World Champion: Spain
World Cup Final: Spain 3 Brazil 1
1st team to be eliminated: South Africa
Golden Boot winner: David Villa (Spain), 7 goals
Golden Ball winner: Kaka (Brazil)


Commentary on The Final:
The Final itself was an epic battle as Brazil put on a dazzling display of free-flowing samba style football early on against the Spaniards, taking a 1-0 lead in the 30th minute with a Felipe Melo strike from just inside the box. It didn’t take long for Spain to level the score after a goalie error that left striker David Villa in the clear. He tapped in his 6th goal of the tournament in the 42nd minute. The second half saw fortunes turn in favour of Spain, as their disciplined build up play and domination of possession paid off with a goal in the 61st minute when Villa connected for his second goal of the match, off of Andres Iniesta’s driven cross. Brazil had several efforts on goal in the final third of the match but couldn’t capitalize on its chances as they pushed all players forward in an attempt to draw even, eventually conceding a splendid counter attack goal in the 88th minute from Cesc Fabregas, which delivered Spain the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
