Just because Poland aren t among the favourites at this summer s rescheduled UEFA Euro 2020, doesn t mean Bayern Munich goal machine Robert Lewandowski cannot claim the tournament s Golden Boot.
As with the loss of Napoli, I doubt EA Sports is crying over the loss of Atalanta - despite the club establishing itself in recent seasons as one of Italy s best. EA Sports still enjoys a vice-like grip on the majority of the world s biggest football teams and leagues. The Premier League, for example, remains authentically reproduced in the FIFA games. But at least Konami is still snapping at EA s heels.
Konami has yet to announce this year s PES game, but as I wrote in August, PES 2022 is under pressure to deliver after the series effectively took a year off last year in order to make a splash on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.
