So for those who don't know FC Mobile is what we used to call EA Sports FC or FIFA Mobile before EA lost the FIFA license and rebranded, its still the same game but now its called EA FC Mobile and its way more realistic than before, the graphics, the gameplay, the celebrations everything just hits different now. And they have this mode where you can recreate World Cup moments, basically you pick any team and you play the stage where they got knocked out, you get to face their last opponent again and try to rewrite history, its like a what if mode and its really addictive if you love football. I decided to pick Spain because I felt they deserved more in the last World Cup, we all know they went out early and it was painful to watch, so I wanted to recreate their last big game and see if I could change the result, and the opponent they gave me was Argentina which is crazy because you know Argentina is stacked with Messi, Alvarez, Mac Allister all those guys.
The game started and they already gave me a 1-0 advantage because that was the actual full time result in the scenario I was playing, so I was leading 1-0 from the beginning and I had to defend that lead till the end, it was around 76 minutes on the clock when the clip starts and you can see the scoreboard ESP 1 - 0 ARG, my plan was simple just hold the ball, keep possession like real Spain tiki taka and not let Argentina score. But honestly FC Mobile AI doesn't make it easy, Argentina kept pressing high, they brought on fresh legs and they were pushing everything forward, I tried to score a second goal to kill the game but every time I got into the final third the defenders would just close me down, I felt like the game was keeping things neutral on purpose just to keep the tension, like they didn't want me to score again.
If you watch the video you will see at like 72 minutes I thought I scored with Oyarzabal, I played a nice through ball from Nico Williams and Oyarzabal finished it but the flag went up, offside, man I was so annoyed because that would have been 2-0 and game over, but the game said teammate was offside and cancelled it. After that I became more careful, I started playing with Pedri in the middle, trying to control tempo, you can see Pedri, Mac Allister battling for the ball, I was using the PASS and THROUGH buttons a lot trying to find space but Argentina's backline with Romero and Otamendi were solid. Then around 76 minutes Lamine Yamal got a big chance, I cut inside from the right with him, I was already shouting goal but the keeper saved it and then my follow up with Ferran was blocked, that moment summed up the whole second half, I tried to score but just couldn't enter.
What I noticed is that even though I had the lead, the game felt balanced, Argentina had possession too, they were attacking with Messi, Alvarez dropping deep, and I had to keep switching my defenders, using SWITCH and SPRINT TACKLE and SECOND DEFENDER just to keep them out, I even went to AUTO defending at some point because my fingers were tired from holding the joystick. At 80+ minutes it became pure game management, I was just running down the clock with Nico Williams on the wing, trying to keep the ball in the corner, not forcing any risky passes, because one mistake and Messi will punish you in this game, we all know that. The crowd noise, the World Cup final atmosphere in the stadium, the ad boards with THE WORLD'S GAME, everything made it feel like a real final even though it was just a recreation.
At the end I managed to hold the 1-0, it ended as a low scoring, tense win for Spain, I didn't get that second goal I wanted but I rewrote history a little bit for Spain in my own way, I felt proud even though I felt the game kept things neutral and didn't want me to score more, maybe its their way of keeping it realistic to the real result. That's the beauty of FC Mobile now, you can pick any disqualified team and play their last match again, if you are a Spain fan like me you will love this mode, you get to feel what could have been if Spain had held on, and for me this 1-0 win over Argentina in this World Cup final recreation means a lot, it was not easy, it was stressful but we got the job done.
