    Although nobody can win “FIFA” – you have clearly marked yourself out as an American. Funnily enough I have just answered a very similar (and nearly as amusing) question – http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Amf54zjJgliFSzy1DwFGTSrsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20100619200808AASgEoj&show=7#profile-info-CjAjWwvsaa
