We don’t think this is the reason that #FIFA is trending but it’s still some pretty groundbreaking news.
For the first time, women’s international sides will be recognised in the FIFA video game franchise and you’ll be able to play as any of 12 teams.
For some ludicrous reason, Ireland aren’t featured which means you won’t be able to score any Rochers (which is what we’re now calling the process of controlling the ball with both feet before volleying it home).
But England, the U.S.A. and France all feature which brings a welcome twist to the game on which we’ve wasted far too much of our lives.
Women’s football has never been bigger and it’s about damn time that we can play as some of the best players in the world like Nadine Kessler or Abby Wambach.
