The pitch for FIFA from EA Games came in. What a brief.

I had a simple idea. FIFA is more than football — it lets you settle scores. (No pun intended.)

So what better way to prove it than by bringing two players back together to replay a match that never really ended?

Materazzi and Zidane.

A chance to face each other one last time.

A chance to replay the 2006 FIFA World Cup Final.

A chance to settle one of football’s most famous rivalries once and for all.

With FIFA at the heart of it all.
