Would it have killed EA to add just one more letter FIFA 23 coins?

The World Cup is about to get started, and FIFA 23 is celebrating with a bunch of new content. That content started arriving last week, and while the FIFA servers seemingly buckled under the pressure initially, things have largely calmed down to the point where everyonersquo;s favorite football simulator is at least back to being playable.

However, therersquo;s one significant hiccup that remains in FIFA 23rsquo;s World Cup content drop, and thatrsquo;s the team crests. Specifically Iranrsquo;s team crest, which has the three letters more commonly associated with a certain Irish paramilitary group.

For those unaware, every nation going to the World Cup next week has its own team crest consisting of the first three letters of the country and the primary colors on each nationrsquo;s flag. Iranrsquo;s flag is very close to the colors of Ireland, and the first three letters spell out quot;IRA,quot; also known as the Irish Republican Army.

Not being Irish or English, I wonrsquo;t go into the history of quot;The Troubles,quot buy FUT 23 coins; which lasted from the 1960s to 1998 and ended with the signing of the Good Friday Agreement. However, I can confidently say that nobody was happy during this period, with thousands of civilian casualties and great destruction to personal and government property. As a result, the IRA remains a bit of a touchy subject.
