Israel National Team-->To EA

[DjCrAzYMaN90]

I cant understand why Israel national team isn't represented in this year's FIFA soccer game..
For those who remember.. back in 2002 FIFA had the complete Israeli first league plus the national team, and FIFA even
Had an Israeli version of the game with commentary in Hebrew..

But ironically today when the Israeli national team is rated 15 in the world and has a good change to qualify to
The World cup in South Africa, and (nevertheless) the sales for FIFA 09 in Israel are higher then ever
Now is the time that EA choose to dismiss Israel from the official game..

There are 42 national teams in Fifa this year.. some teams have lower record in international tournaments then
Israel...

Israel National Team hasn't been in there for years. Infact I don't even remember Israel being in the FIFA series.
Hmmm they were in FIFA 2002 I guess I didn't play FIFA 2002 but many years have passed nonetheless and there are many other national teams that deserve credit too.

I wonder why some teams like Serbia arent there?! They're so strong! Japan, Egypt, Iran, United Arab Emirates, Angola. So many teams, Ivory Coast, Ghana. They all deserve their places.

However if you really want to play with Israel get PES 2009, it has the Israel National Team fully licensed with proper kits spellings and team logo.

Its not about how good a nation or its leagues are. If they refuse to sell EA the licenses, then they wont be in the game..simple as.

I recall the dutch team had fake players on 08, as with the german team on football manager.

Yeah but EA have to learn from Konami that even if they don't get the licenses at least they can put the teams in, do you really need permission for this?
If Konami can add each and every year same old Iran, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Israel, etc why can't EA do it?! They can put them in and perhaps let us correct the spelling mistakes of the players like we can do in PES!

They did put the dutch national team in on 08, with fake players of course. But I dont think they can put a team in with real players with names spelled wrongly. This is because these players are probably already on the game at club level, and it wouldnt make sense to misspell their name into a national team.

Now, I'm not sure if they can put in real players with correct names, and misspell the name of the nation. Like Isrial or something.

Well I have another idea which has always been spinning in my mind. Why can't EA get the corrected spellings of for example all the dutch players from all their clubs and put them together in a national team?

Take Van Persie from Arsenal, Ryan Babel from Liverpool, Kuyt from Liverpool, Arjen Robben from Real Madrid all the dutch players get them packed in one national team and its done and dusted! No problem with license as the players from their clubs are correctly licensed. And I understand if its a team like Egypt where not all Egyptian players are in the game.
But there's no excuses for the Netherlands (Holland) well all dutch players from the national team are in FIFA 09 clubs! There's the Eredivisie where there are so many dutch players.
