In FIFA 19, unexpected things happen time and again that nobody can anticipate. One of these fails is currently causing great laughter in the community.
These are FIFA fails: “FIFA fails” refer to curious scenes, funny moments, and unpredictable events in the FIFA series by EA Sports. Compilations of such “game errors” have a long tradition and can amuse not just soccer fans.
However, when these errors occur during your own gameplay, they usually lead to frustration rather than laughter, and controllers tend to fly wildly around the room.
David Luiz’s Remarkable Performance
Currently, a short clip is circulating in the Reddit forum, over which thousands have laughed. The clip is titled “Really EA? Excellent defending by David Luiz”. Watch it here:
What happens in the video: During an attack, the situation seems to be resolved. Defender David Luiz runs directly towards the ball, which was poorly passed by the attacker. He should either kick it away or accept it and pass it on, but instead, David Luiz jumps over the ball and lets it pass for another attacker – who has no trouble pushing it into the goal.
In the comments, many write that they can’t stop laughing. By the way, David Luiz’s jump is an animation that is triggered automatically and was completely inappropriate in this situation. If David Luiz had run normally, nothing would have gone wrong in the back.
Goalkeeper Fails and Flying Players
This is by far not the only fail that has happened on the virtual pitch in FIFA 19. Reddit and YouTube are overflowing with funny moments where you don’t know whether to laugh or cry. We embed a few here:
What happens in the video? Everyone has probably experienced this themselves: The ball just won’t cross the line. In this video, first the left post, then the right post, and finally the crossbar is hit. With the next shot attempt, the player narrowly misses the ball. Fail!
What happens in the video? In this clip, something very curious happens – after a duel, a player gets stuck in his animation and flies across half the field. “I can float,” the user happily comments.
What happens in the video? Here is a scene that could also happen in real football. The goalkeeper sprints out to head the ball away but runs past it. The way is clear for the attacker.
What happens in the video: The goalkeeper looks pretty bad here. Even though the ball is rolling towards his goal from a distance, he lets it roll through his legs. Anyone who experiences this in FIFA 19 will curse the game.
What happens in the video: This scene would probably be whistled off by any referee, but in FIFA 19 it was apparently counted as an own goal by the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper catches the ball, but then is shoved into the goal along with the ball by the opposing player. Curious!
What happens in the video? This player suddenly starts shaking his head extremely fast. If that doesn’t cause a concussion…
If you want to see many more fails, you will find them in this video, which has already reached nearly 2 million views:
Can you laugh at such fails or only shake your head?
