From the first whistle, FIFA 07 throws you into the emotional rollercoaster of the soccer season as you live out the intensity of every home and away match. A specially-designed audio track authentically replicates the crowd reactions found in stadiums around the world. The dynamic game engine tracks every move on the pitch to realize the emotional response of the crowd during the highs and lows of a match. Every layer of the audio track is affected, with crowds responding to what occurs on the pitch by cheering or jeering, and broadcast commentary reflecting the momentum swings that play out in games.    

This year, you have the power to shape your club's destiny in the EA SPORTS™ Interactive Leagues, a new online mode that enables you to pit your club against supporters of your real-world opponents. The online interactive leagues feature the F.A. Premier League, Bundesliga, French League and the Mexican 1st Division. Experience the future of online gaming as you play your games according to the real-world schedule. When they play, you play. Track your team's progress as the aggregate results determine your club's position in the league table. Now you actually take to the pitch for the glory of your club. This is the season where you make the difference!    

FIFA 07, developed by EA Canada in Vancouver, B.C., is scheduled to ship on October 3, 2006 in North America and September 22, 2006 in Europe for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox® video game system from Microsoft, Nintendo GameCube™, Nintendo DS™, and Game Boy® Advance, PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, PC and mobile.

Muse and Paul Oakenfold  are the only ones I've heard of.

Too many UK songs, not one Australian song? Pfft, everyone knows we are more impressive than England in football at the moment.

No Australian songs: fail
This wasn't done for FIFA World Cup: fail
Failing at capitalising Angelique KiDJo properly: fail
