They start by reminiscing about their childhood love for FIFA and highlight how their perception has changed as the game is now widely disliked. They embark on playing eight different soccer games to discover if there are better alternatives to FIFA. The first game they play is Football Cup, where they humorously navigate through the game’s licensing issues and aim to score with “Cristiano Ronaldo.” Despite some initial struggles with the controls, they successfully score and place Football Cup in the B tier of their ranking. Next, they try Street Power Football, a game reminiscent of FIFA Street, featuring various modes like King Street, Trick Shot, Freestyle, and Panna.
