5 things that make you happy playing FIFA

#1 Winning on penalties

Penalty shootouts are more about luck and composure

Penalty shootouts are the Russian Roulette of football. Winning a shootout is more about luck and composure rather than an overall representation of skill. However, when you win by virtue of one, it will bring about a feeling of immeasurable joy in you.

The shootouts are nearly always associated with despair in England and Argentina. Winning one, especially in a major tournament is as likely as Jose Mourinho exchanging pleasantries with Arsene Wenger before a match. FIFA, on the other hand, is an escape from reality for the likes of Lionel Messi and others.

Yes, it is pretty much a lucky dip. However, the very knowledge that your opponent is not lucky and you are is enough to make you feel blissful. After all, the FIFA Gods are looking down upon you and you have their blessings.
