We arrived in Barcelona last night through distinctly bouncy turbulence and a solid English-style downpour. The weather, we were told, would be pretty rubbish on Friday, too. There went our vision of a pleasant jolly in the sun, then.
But as the day has gone on the sun has got its act together and it’s looking better for tomorrow’s main event on the beach: The Grand Final of this year’s FIFA Interactive World Cup. More than half a million people took part in the qualification rounds for this event, online and off, and what we’re left with now is the final 32 - the cream of the global FIFA 09 crop, ready to take each other on for a $20,000 prize haul and the title of FIFA 09 world champion.
A champion of an altogether different variety is Stevie Morgan - the voice of the FIFA 09 Top 10 videos and podcasts. He’ll be leading the charge for EA SPORTS in covering the event, fronting a series of videos that we’ll upload right here from the venue tomorrow.
