FIFA vs PES: The comparison you've never read before

Footie games aren’t traditionally known for their feminine touch. And this year’s FIFA and PES installments are really no exception. Look a little harder, though, and you’ll see a couple of examples of the XX chromosome being crammed in. Among the crowds of dead-eyed geriatrics, PES has a few women strewn throughout its stadiums. And, while they’re not exactly Soul Calibur's Ivy, at least they give us some respite from staring at Wayne Rooney’s HD pimples.

There’s a complete lack of any fairer sex-sponsored action in FIFA. And, for a company famed for its PR skills, the choice to paste Ronaldinho’s horse-like bonce onto the opening menu and then bombard us with his fugly face for hours on end with no female respite was a belter.

The winner is…

The winner is…

The winner is…
