Today is the day many video game fanatics have been waiting for (at least in North America). FIFA 16 is now in stores and available to purchase. Apologies to our European friends who have to wait two more days. That's bogus.
There are two Europeans who don't have to wait, however. Two lucky Spurs players were handed a free copy of the game by EA Sports. Because, ya know, those professional footballers need gifts.

Kevin Wimmer. FOR. FREE.
Ugh. I guess I need to find a job so I can buy this game. As if Kevin Wimmer needed any more gifts in life, he's a pro footballer with the smile of a Greek God. Why does he get all the perks? Who wants to buy this game for me? LIFE ISN'T FAIR.
