5 celebrations that need to be included in FIFA 18

FIFA 17 allows you to recreate celebrations like the “Dab” made famous by Paul Pogba

#5 The classic “taking your shirt off” celebration

Iniesta ripped his shirt off after scoring what was the most important goal of his career

The shirt ripping celebration has long been a part of footballing folklore. Andres Iniesta did it after scoring against Holland for Spain in the World Cup finals, Ryan Giggs exposed his thick chest carpet after scoring an absolute worldie against Arsenal to take United through to the FA Cup finals in 1999.

It is the most feral, natural celebration around that is an expression of pure joy and ecstasy. Imagine yourself scoring in a World Cup final, you are bound to take your shirt off. Sadly, though, this celebration is unlikely to appear on FIFA 18 because of EA’s insistence to play by the footballing rules.

Taking the shirt off results in a straight yellow card for a player and is against the laws of the game even though it may be very much part of the game as players repeatedly accept yellows after taking their shirts off in celebration.

We urge EA to loosen up on the rules a little as after all, removing the shirt as a celebration is still a part of the game. Although illegal, gamers wouldn’t mind taking a yellow card in the 89th minute of a game if the goal they’ve just scored wins the Champions Cup on FIFA 18.
