History 
Founded in March of 1902, Real Madrid is one of the teams that began originally by people doing it for fun. Originally named Madrid FC, the "Real" (which stands for Royal) part was added with the permission of King Alonso XIII. The 1940's and 50's were great for Madrid under President Santiago Yeste. In the 50's the team began to have a youth program that allowed them to discover up and coming talent. The first superstar that came out of this program was Alfredo Di Stefano. Between 1956-1960, Real Madrid won five consecutive UEFA Champions League Titles. Success would only continue through the 70's and 80's as Madrid won a total of five league championships, four Spanish cups , and three Spanish Super Cups. Since then, they have seen the likes of David Beckham, Robinho, Sergio Ramos, and Cristiano Ronaldo. Madrid has been and will be one of the powerhouse organizations in the world.

Revenues 
Like any sports organization, there are core supports. Well, Real Madrid has MANY of them. Real Madrid has an average of approximately 68,000 season ticket holders. While being within the top five ranked world richest teams, their revenues to wages put them at the number one spot. And they have yet to move since.

The most anticipated WorldCup game has to be 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil. Every four years, EA Sports released a special edition of FIFA dedicated to the WorldCup. In this game, national teams are more focused on rather than club teams in regular FIFA. As a gamer, you have the option to select any national team and try to build a dynasty with them. You can either choose to dominate with well known teams such as Spain, Portugal, Argentina , and Brazil, or you can try to build from the ground up using a lower-level national team.

FEATURES IN FIFA WorldCup
In this particular FIFA game, EA Sports focused  on a few areas that should allow the game to stand out among others.

The first feature that stands out is the improvement of  ball control . New animations have been added to get more realistic dribbling moves both in and out of the foot. Foot curling passes also have been added to the game which should help to create more kinds of passes.

One of the most important things to perfect in soccer games is the penalty kick. In FIFA WorldCup EA Sports has also added more animations to simulate more of an emotional feel to the game. Adding animations such as "wobbly knees" will let the gamer know that what they are about to do can make or break the game!


With the backing of Adidas , one feature added to the game includes "micoach training". This mode allows you to take your players add improve certain attributes that they are lacking in. There are up to 18 different types of training available.

GAME MODES
There are new, exciting game modes that EA Sports have added that should provide a ton of excitement for FIFA fans. The "Road to Rio  de Janeiro" game mode gives gamers the chance to compete online with friends. In this game mode, you first select one of the many national  teams and play along the 12 different host cities. If you make it to the final, you get to play for the FIFA World Cup Championship at Estadio do Maracana  in Rio.

Another exciting addition to the game is the "Captain your Country" mode. As an individual player, you work your way up  from the practice  squad to becoming the leader of your national team.
