Third United player to do that. Anyone care to try to name the other two?

pope, olsen.

what do I win?

[T Nitty]

Olsen and Pope?

[T Nitty]

pope, olsen.

what do I win?

damn, just beat me. I actually don't know how the heck I remembered that. What was Olsen doing on there, anyway?

The first thing I'll do is sell off a bunch of players and buy Freddy for my Premiership team. And my manager name will be Malcolm Abromovich.

he was on there before his 18 ankle injuries slowed him down a bit

[DCU9ted]

What years were Olsen and Pope on the cover?

[jason1551]

What years were Olsen and Pope on the cover?
1999 and 2000 I think.

And you guys forgot about Rocket Roy (1998).

[evanpemsocr]

Yeah I think Lassiter was on there for the world cup 98 one.

[neilgrossman]

I think Roy was wearing the National Team kit, so he may not count. Also, Moreno made the cover of the Fox Sports soccer game early in his MLS career. Moreno was wearing a black DCU-like kit.

[Darth Norteño]

I could've sworn Etcheverry was on a FIFA cover.

[LN - Dougg]

I could've sworn Etcheverry was on a FIFA cover.

I think he was on the cover of other soccer games.. like PS2's 989's soccer games... or something...


What an honor for Freddy though.. On the cover of the game, along with Ronaldinho?! Wow..

WHY IS THAT MEXICAN TARD there though? That's not Borgetti, or Rafa Marquez... Whom I consider Mexico's biggest "stars"

[Saltenya94]

Ahhh nice find.
I went to the EA website, I guess it's not there yet.

In real life, and in the game, Freddy makes Chicago look like crap no matter what. :D

Maybe it's just me or maybe the screen caps don't do the graphics justice, but I think this makes Freddy look more like a cross between Prince Charles and Michael Vick than Freddy.

And in one of the other images they have they somehow gave Freddy Dema's thighs.

I wonder if Freddy owns the LaLaGals in this game, too. At least that would be realistic.

Interview with Freddy about the cover (http://sports.ign.com/articles/643/643255p1.html)

Warning: This reads like an interview for a high school newspaper.

GN Sports: One option coming up for you is the World Cup. Are you going to tryout for Team USA?

Freddy Adu: There's still a fair chance, man, you never know what's going to happen. As long as I keep playing the way I've been playing lately, I feel I have a fair chance of playing.


I'd like to know when these try outs are, because the world would then tremble when they see appooOnU stalking the right flank for USA. In laughter probably, but they'd still be trembling all the same

[cpwilson80]

Pope is also on the cover of Winning Eleven 8 in the US. And I think Lassiter was on the cover of Road To The World Cup 98.
