All you football (soccer) fans out there, get ready because UEFA Euro 2008 is coming to blow your minds! The European Championship is getting closer and closer, but you will be able to decide the winner way before the first whistle, thanks to EA Sports - those guys who know that every soccer fan would do anything to see their national team crowned as The Champion.

Even though the real-world tournament is set to begin in June in Austria and Switzerland, starting the 11th of April in Europe and the 20th of May in the US, you will be able to play the cup matches and lead your nation to the top. UEFA Euro 2008 promises to bring an even more detailed representation of the courts and players, together with a more accessible, faster paced and responsive gameplay.

And don't worry! If your team hasn't managed to qualify for the Euro Championship, you can start from qualifications and repair the mistakes. Yes, this means that England has a new (but only virtual) chance to start it all over again. And if David Beckham is not the player you'd like to see as the team's captain, EA Sports comes with an innovation. The mode called "Captain Your Country" will enable gamers to put themselves on the pitch, earn the captaincy of their team and truly inspire their country to glory. Just like any captain should do.

Again, you will be able to celebrate your on-field success through interactive celebrations and, if you consider yourself ready to take on the ultimate challenge, you can try your luck in the Battle of the Nations online mode and lead your country to global supremacy.

"We have taken our soccer engine to another level and added innovative new features to create a videogame that captures and simulates the real-world soccer experience and all the emotion of this global event," said lead producer Simon Humber.
