Grown Man Calls Up His Opponent After Losing A Close FIFA Match And Curses Him Out
LONDON — Nobody likes losing, but some people really, really don’t like losing. This man who sent an impressively angry (and mildly terrifying) audio recording below definitely falls into the second category. Londoner Elliot Hackney, who was sent the message by a stranger after beating them at FIFA, shared the recording on Twitter on Sunday. At the time of writing it’s had over 4000 retweets. Mashable spoke to Hackney to try and get to the bottom of the man’s fury. “I was losing 2-1 and this guy had been speaking down the microphone all game,” Hackney explained. “Just along the lines of ‘yeahhh have that’ and ‘tell your mum how crap you are’.” “Then I scored 2 very late goals in the 90th minute to win 3-2, so I grabbed my headphones and laughed hysterically down them.” The rest is history. Hackney told Mashable he’s since sent the man a reply. “I sent him one back saying grow up and to check my Twitter because he’s gone viral,” Hackney said. “Haven’t had a response yet though.”
Oh shit! A video game-version of Meet Me In Temecula. Full disclosure. I understood like 8 words of that whole thing. I heard twat a bunch of times, I heard “meet up” and I heard him asking about the other guy’s balls. He wasn’t happy, that much I know. Now, obviously not appropriate behavior for a man who has that low of voice, but I kinda get it. Have you ever played FIFA? If you have, you get it too. That shit is intense. Years ago my friends and I would play a lot and I ended up retiring because a buddy of mine was so good at through balls that I wanted to kill him. Dude would just murder me all game with perfect through balls. He through-balled me into retirement*. Cause I knew if we kept playing I would end up in prison for homicide. So I stopped. So while it may seem weird that a grown man called up his opponent after a close game, it’s not if you have ever played FIFA. Or watched people play FIFA. I’ve watched good friends of mine almost come to blows over FIFA matches. Just good ol’ fashioned healthy completion that is usually fueled by half a case of Busch Light.
*My buddy will still sometimes bring this up when we hang out. I have no comeback and it sucks. Dude perfected the through ball and forced me outta the game. It happens.
