PRIOR TO 1998, FIFA didn’t have licensed songs for its soundtracks and instead you heard stuff like this.
That all changed however, with the release of FIFA 98: Road To World Cup which we’re still reminded of everytime we listen to Blur’s classic ‘Song 2′.
Since then, the folks at EA Sports have picked some serious tunes to accompany their games.
