The Future Fore seer.

Nostradamus is the latinised name of a great french physician in the 1500s. He worked for King Charles the Nine in his years. Apparently he has been of great importance even in today's times as he had a great mind with which he could foresee future and his first book of prophecies namely Les Propheties  was published in 1555 AD.His books contain all his prediction in the form of QUATRAINS .He had to resort to writing the books in a mixture of other languages like mostly in Latin, Greek and Italian and also by using code words because what he was doing was considered to be against the then religious norms.Since the publication of this book it has been republished so many times by many of his interpreters.

Above is an example of one of his quatrains.

Nostradamus prophecies' were proven to be credible when his quatrains revealed his predictions about numerous world events that has happened and yet to come like Great fire of London,Rise of leaders like Napoleon,Adolf Hitler etc.The September11 attacks on World Trade Center and events like attack on the pentagon, A World War 3 etc. None will be able to exactly interpret what he meant but as far as they have deciphered from his original works his prophecies extend from 1555 AD-3797AD which is a remarkable work because the credibility of his prophecies. The below mentioned quatrain is the most famous and controversial quatrains that hints at dooms day-which is interpretation of his followers and they though he said in these lines:

"In the year the sun shows his phases

And the second planet eclipses the brightest star,

The grand empire’s calendar foretells

The secret death of the world."- translated from Latin.

Many of his followers predicted 2012 as the year of doom because all the conditions in his quatrain are satisfied in the year but what people did not look into was the credibility of interpretation of this particular quatrain might be incorrect and he meant something different because none of his books suggest anything at all about "WORLD'S END" in fact his prophecies go until the   year  3797AD, and given his credibility its hard to deny his works aren't true. I would leave this blog open ended as to how far his work can be true.Honestly i am a fan of his works. 

We'll have to wait to surge into future to test the truth his predictions about world's end.

HISTORY OF FIFA

EA SPORT FIFA 
IT'S IN THE GAME......

FIFA, also known as FIFA Football or FIFA Soccer, is a series of association football video games or football simulator, released annually by Electronic Arts under the EA Sports label. While there was no major competition when EA released the first titles in their American football and hockey series, football video games such as Sensible Soccer, Kick Off and Match Day had been developed since the late 1980s and already competitive in the games market when EA Sports announced a football game as the next addition to their EA Sports label.

When the series began in late 1993, it was notable for being the first to have an official licence from FIFA, the world governing body of football. The latest installments in the series contain many exclusively-licensed leagues including leagues and teams from around the world, including the German Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga, English Premier League and Football League, Italian Serie A, Spanish La Liga, Portuguese Primeira Liga, French Ligue 1, Dutch Eredivisie, Brazilian Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, Mexican Liga MX, American Major League Soccer, South Korean K-League and Australian A-League, allowing the use of real leagues, clubs, and player names and likenesses within the games. In addition, internationally popular clubs from around the world, including some teams from Greece, Turkey, Argentina and South Africa, without those nations' entire leagues.

The main series has been complemented by additional installments based on single major tournaments, such as the FIFA World Cup, UEFA European Football Championship, and UEFA Champions League, as well as a series of football management titles.

As of FIFA 13, Lionel Messi is the face of the franchise, appearing on the front cover of every game released in the series and in promotional campaigns and advertisements. He replaced Wayne Rooney, who appeared on seven straight covers from FIFA 06 to FIFA 12.

As of 2011, the FIFA franchise has been localised into 18 languages and available in 51 countries. The series has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling sports video game franchise in the world, and one of the best-selling video game franchises.[4] Also FIFA 12 holds the record for the "fastest selling sports game ever" with over 3.2 million games sold and over $186 million generated at retail in its first week of release.

The franchise's latest release is FIFA 15, released on September 23, 2014 in North America and September 25, 2014 in Europe for multiple gaming systems.
