I wrote this in my english exam, as part of the story of a boy. A future football star. My old hag of a teacher, who of course never had played Fifa, thought I was a genius. Best grade ever. Thanks EA!
Pro Evolution Soccer 6 had equally good graphics back then. In 2006, Fifa was the game with more licenses and teams included, while Pro Evolution was by far the game with better gameplay. The graphics were equally good in both games, but I subjectively prefered the PES 6 graphics. Those were the days when Pro could still compete in sales and critical reception with Fifa. Nowadays, Fifa is the absolute king of football in consoles. I miss those days of a healthy rivalry between Fifa and Pro, now Fifa has no real challenger.
pes was so much better. gameplay and graphics. years ahead. but everything changed when the next Gen arrived (ps3/360) and now FIFA has dominated the last two generations.
Last FIFA trailers EA have tried to repeat this video but failed miserably ever time. Nothing will ever beat this intro. Even after I had started up this game hundreds if not thousands of times, I still kept watching the intro and got goose bumps almost every single time.
Archy senpai I respect your opinion, I needed to rewatch it again because to me it was so bad I'd suppressed it from my memory. The FIFA 14 intro is clearly trying too hard to replicate the FIFA 06 intro but to me the voice just sounds so ridiculously deep and he says something like "to defend, to tackle, to shot, to score, to CELEBRATE" which I found totally daft and corny, but maybe that works for you. The sad truth is that everything in FIFA except graphics and gameplay has got worse since FIFA 06, basically FUT has ruined the game.
elloos Well, it gives me chills when I watch it, because the track played in the background is cool as fuck, combined with the images. And I agree with the games getting worse and worse. FIFA 13 was the last good FIFA for me, and I'm never buying the game until they release a decent game again. They don't seem to care anyway, lol Not to mention that every fifa until 13 was complete shit and that fifa 15 should not be a game
But this about heroes and tribes, loyalty and devotion, its a commitment and our passion, our battle in our belief, this is our faith. Now, feel the fever of the crowd, hear the roar of the faithful. You are Ronaldinho, you are Wayne Rooney. This is the beautiful game.
I loved this intro, it gave me chills as a kid especially when the guy said: "You are Ronaldinho, You are Wayne Rooney. This is the beautiful game. This is your moment." and both Ronaldinho and Wayne Rooney were my idols of football. :)
Their lineups back then were terrifying to even play against. Back then I enjoyed to watch football in the pub with the lads. Telling ourselves well make it to a team someday none of us made it to the reserves. Most of us had boring office jobs. I miss the people we were then.
As a child i saw this my first time. I did not understand a word(english is not my native language) but i still understood whats the message and what this guy said.. now i understand english and i know that i understood then thats because football is its own language. And i remember my goosebumps as a child
This trailer brings so many memories. I remember playing FIFA 06 as a 12 year old kid and this inspired me so much. Now I'm 27 and I'm actually working at EA on FIFA. Life is full of surprises...
Tell me that football is not our one common language, when the whole planet stops for 90 minutes to be witness to that one thing we all understand. Yeah
Not only the intro, but the Fifa flashbacks were brilliant. I remember looking up the goals I had heard for the first time and watching them just because of Fifa 2006.
Tsss, qué grandes recuerdos, ese intro era hermoso. Recuerdo que mi primer FIFA fue el 2001 aunque honestamente no lo jugué mucho. Desde el 2004 en adelante sí los jugué hasta desgastarlos, y he de decir que el 2006 y 2007 son mis favoritos de todos los tiempos.
my first fifa ever. got goosebumps watching this....took me back to little me snuggled in a blanket on winter break playing this all day....simpler times....
Not really a football fan but everytime my brother played FIFA 2006, i asked him to let me watched the intro, definitely one of the best intro in video game history.
I remember when my mam bought me this game. I was 10 Years old. She got me it for a present for Halloween. I went searching for it prior and found it, obviously I was allowed to play it from then. I got it early. My best friend was up that night and we absolutely loved our life’s. My mother, aged 47 died in march from cancer. Now being 28 year old I had a warm, nostalgic and emotional feeling towards this. Gosh how I’d roll back the days! What a game, what a memory.
All went downhill from here lol That intro, FIFA Flasbacks, the previous season highlights for the Barclay’s Premiership, Ligue 1, Serie A and Bundesliga, being able to export your manager mode team to Kick Off, etc etc Absolutely fabulous game
It's my birthday today and I think I just made myself one of the best bday presents ever by randomly remembering this. Still knew every single word by heart despite last seeing this video more than 7 years ago.. time flies. Play as much football as you can. ⚽❤️
From this to paying for micro-transactions and bullshit. Oh, how far you have fallen, EA. Tsk, Tsk. Still, thank you for all the lovely memories, and I'm lucky to have been young back when you were great.
Almost 20 years later, this still gives me goosebumps, wow, what a perfect intro. I was 6 years old back then and I remember almost never skipping this intro.
Memories... This game was absolutely amazing. It is also milestone of the Fifa 07, 08 and today's FIFA games. In my childhood I was so excited for this game to play.
This was my first full version FIFA, a huge upgrade for me who played demo until then. WHAT A GAME! Everything about it was perfect. The "FIFA flashback", the soundtracks, the graphics, the finesse shots, the career mode with press conferences and team chemistry. OOOOOOHHHHH thank you EA for some of the best time I've ever had!
When football shines and leaves us breathless he swallows everything around. The voyage into the unknown fixes the power of the game and of the supporters. Everytime
Sends shivers through my body everytime I watch this. Now brings tears too. So full of nostalgia. How I loved it!! Above all what a beautiful game football is! What fever! What passion! What elegance! Now wonder swami vivekananda and Osho understood that playing football infact is one way of reaching enlightenment.
Alpha2kBeta Like Fifa 15 with a bendable corner flag or some deterioration of the grass. Like seriously!? EA is a fucking troll company. No one should buy Fifa 15!
probably been 12 years at least since I played this game, but this intro along with FIFA 2002 world Cup and 2010 world cup are always the 3 intros that live in my mind rent free, wish EA would go back to making these good intros with emotion.
I wrote this in my english exam, as part of the story of a boy. A future football star. My old hag of a teacher, who of course never had played Fifa, thought I was a genius. Best grade ever. Thanks EA!
Haha
Clever you didn’t write that “EA sports it’s in the game” in it!
Haha niceee
I did the same thing on an English paper and he thought it was amazing haha
That’s unreal, i did the same ! I think i was maybe in the 2nd grade for my English class
When I was a kid I thought FIFA 06 looked so realistic, and I couldn't believe how they made so good graphics! :D
Haha yes, I recently went back to play it and couldn't believe how ugly it is... my standards have changed so much 😂

Exactly
Lies again? Spank Bang
I watched the entire intro on every start up. There's no skipping this one.
1,000,000%
Skipping this is a crime
Fifa 06 and Tekken 3 you cant skip those masterpieces
🇺🇸🇲🇽
Amen.
@@jacksssssss7310 tekken 3 eddy gordo is an absolute beast
Childhood :) this was my first fifa
+Antonio Fuentes Flecha Same
+Antonio Fuentes Flecha same
Mine too!

same
Damn we are old now
Loooool
We are, my friend.
we are playing since fifa 98
Last FIFA trailers EA have tried to repeat this video but failed miserably ever time. Nothing will ever beat this intro. Even after I had started up this game hundreds if not thousands of times, I still kept watching the intro and got goose bumps almost every single time.
elloos for me FIFA 14's intro beats this one, it's just my opinion tho
Archy senpai I respect your opinion, I needed to rewatch it again because to me it was so bad I'd suppressed it from my memory. The FIFA 14 intro is clearly trying too hard to replicate the FIFA 06 intro but to me the voice just sounds so ridiculously deep and he says something like "to defend, to tackle, to shot, to score, to CELEBRATE" which I found totally daft and corny, but maybe that works for you.

Not to mention that every fifa until 13 was complete shit and that fifa 15 should not be a game
+elloos Could not have said it better myself. Absolutely the best intro they've ever made.
+elloos Oh my gosh! I felt the same way about FIFA 06...No FIFA intro will ever replace the FIFA 06 Intro
This intro was always sent shiver to my whole body...
same here
Sure does , makes me miss playing
Probably young blood
It's 2024 and this is still the best FIFA intro.
"Tell me that football is not our one common language, when the whole planet stops for 90 minutes to be witness to that one thing we all understand"
But this about heroes and tribes, loyalty and devotion, its a commitment and our passion, our battle in our belief, this is our faith. Now, feel the fever of the crowd, hear the roar of the faithful. You are Ronaldinho, you are Wayne Rooney. This is the beautiful game.
After 13 years still feel goosebumps.
Best and most inspiring intro to a sports game in history!
Agreed
FIFA 2023: You can buy Ronaldinho, you can buy Wayne Rooney.
🤣🤣
I loved this intro, it gave me chills as a kid especially when the guy said: "You are Ronaldinho, You are Wayne Rooney. This is the beautiful game. This is your moment." and both Ronaldinho and Wayne Rooney were my idols of football. :)
Their lineups back then were terrifying to even play against. Back then I enjoyed to watch football in the pub with the lads. Telling ourselves well make it to a team someday none of us made it to the reserves. Most of us had boring office jobs. I miss the people we were then.
The PGN of Ronaldinho and Rooney😅
As a child i saw this my first time. I did not understand a word(english is not my native language) but i still understood whats the message and what this guy said.. now i understand english and i know that i understood then thats because football is its own language. And i remember my goosebumps as a child
This trailer brings so many memories. I remember playing FIFA 06 as a 12 year old kid and this inspired me so much. Now I'm 27 and I'm actually working at EA on FIFA. Life is full of surprises...
stop making every year the same game
2005: "You are Wayne Rooney"
"I wish"
2018: "You are Wayne Rooney"
"No u"
Underrated Comment
Marcel A 2019: who’s Rooney again?
I'd love to be in his shoes really, had a phenomenon career, plus he's super wealthy. Don't be a hater
Marcel A wot ur trynna say I’m past it?! 😤
It's 2020 still wish I was Rooney
Best game intro of all time
I've never heard the love of football summed up so eloquently and succinctly
FIFA 06 in EA Sports is just like the GTA San Andreas in Rockstar Games
Poetic
Game after game after game...
I realize now what's most important in my life: Football.
Show me something more thrilling than a perfect volley
Tell me you never dream of immaculate strike and that passionate moment when an entire nation holds it breath.
Tell me that football is not our one common language, when the whole planet stops for 90 minutes to be witness to that one thing we all understand. Yeah
You can tell me I´m wrong. Some mates say its just a game.. but this is about heroes....
I love the small things in any game. EA should work on these intro's for future FIFA's, bring back memories.
chills...still my favourite Fifa ever..EA needs to go back to the core of the game. Football fans!
I haven't played this game in 10 years but I still remember the intro like it was yesterday. It was the best thing from Fifa 06 haha.
Not only the intro, but the Fifa flashbacks were brilliant. I remember looking up the goals I had heard for the first time and watching them just because of Fifa 2006.
fifa06 was the best fifa ever
Crazy, i havent seen that for nearly 9 years and I still know it by heart.
The best fifa intro ever goosebumbs nothing other fifa came close to it,
GOOSEBUMPS
Nothing beats this! Me and my brother still play it and repeat it every time. Gives me chills
Look, when French League was good, teams like Lyon, Rennes,St. Etienne, Marseille ect. But that's true to every league. Miss this era of football.
+Horváth Gábor now, just paris lol.
+Gabi don't forget AS Monaco
Monaco had one of the best in 2004
10 years later: "Play Beautiful" seems legit EA
LOL so true
They don’t make em like this anymore 😢
best years for football(soccer) lots of good players
Tsss, qué grandes recuerdos, ese intro era hermoso. Recuerdo que mi primer FIFA fue el 2001 aunque honestamente no lo jugué mucho. Desde el 2004 en adelante sí los jugué hasta desgastarlos, y he de decir que el 2006 y 2007 son mis favoritos de todos los tiempos.
Omg I loved this game! It was the First FIFA i bought myself....those old FIFA games FIFA 05-07 always give me great childhood memorys
Back when FIFA was FIFA, football was football and legends were legends. Miss those days.
my first fifa ever. got goosebumps watching this....took me back to little me snuggled in a blanket on winter break playing this all day....simpler times....
Not really a football fan but everytime my brother played FIFA 2006, i asked him to let me watched the intro, definitely one of the best intro in video game history.
I almost want to cry tears of joy I remember playing this almost everyday as a young boy, nostalgic
I cant describe how much i missed the beautiful old days..👍
Probably the best era of Football ever!
Still the best FiFA opening video :D I don't remember skipping it every time i played the game :D
Fifa 06 had a remarkable influence on my childhood
(10 seconds in) goosebumps everywhere, nostalgia all over the place
omg I remember every single word of this intro after years. So beautiful. EA should start doing these intros again in future FIFAs.😍
U cant repeat this. Just too many good memories and i can tell the chills i get from this legendary
This is the greatest intro ever and it's from the days when they actually made an effort to improve the game each year.
I didn't understand English when I played that as a kid. So beautiful to see it again after many years. Thank you!
I was 16 then :) FIFA is my most FAV game forever
I remember when my mam bought me this game. I was 10 Years old. She got me it for a present for Halloween. I went searching for it prior and found it, obviously I was allowed to play it from then. I got it early. My best friend was up that night and we absolutely loved our life’s. My mother, aged 47 died in march from cancer. Now being 28 year old I had a warm, nostalgic and emotional feeling towards this. Gosh how I’d roll back the days! What a game, what a memory.
Best video game intro of all time. Had to sit and watch it every time i loaded it up.
This used to give me chills bro. Still does
Best sports intro i can remember of as a kid, im 20 now and playing fifa 15 i still wish they had these epic intros.
The BEST Fucking Fifa Intro of All Fucking Time! You Are Ronaldinho! You Are Wayne Rooney!
All went downhill from here lol
That intro, FIFA Flasbacks, the previous season highlights for the Barclay’s Premiership, Ligue 1, Serie A and Bundesliga, being able to export your manager mode team to Kick Off, etc etc
Absolutely fabulous game
It's my birthday today and I think I just made myself one of the best bday presents ever by randomly remembering this. Still knew every single word by heart despite last seeing this video more than 7 years ago.. time flies. Play as much football as you can. ⚽❤️
This gave me goosebumps.
Back then when my english was not the yellow from the egg and i understood an ass but i was completely into this intro ❤️ YOU ARE WAYNE ROONEY
From this to paying for micro-transactions and bullshit. Oh, how far you have fallen, EA. Tsk, Tsk. Still, thank you for all the lovely memories, and I'm lucky to have been young back when you were great.
Almost 20 years later, this still gives me goosebumps, wow, what a perfect intro. I was 6 years old back then and I remember almost never skipping this intro.
The best intro EVER! And it will NEVER change!
CHILDHOOD
I watch this intro when I'm about to play on a game, it makes me feel powerful.
They should have brought back a remastered/updated version of this intro in fifa 23.
The one intro of, not just football games, but any game in general, I would never skip. Inspiring, beautiful, perfect.
This Brings tears to my eyes!
Best fifa intro ever!
17 years on.. Amazing
i remember playing this game for hours on my nephew's xbox omg the nostalgia
What a nice era for living!
That free kick from far distance into crossbar into goal always gave me goosebumps
Going to save this video for another day
Bro!!! This just brought me back! 😭❤️ So nostalgic
Memories... This game was absolutely amazing. It is also milestone of the Fifa 07, 08 and today's FIFA games. In my childhood I was so excited for this game to play.
This was when life was at its peak
the best intro ever ! beautiful memories ! thank u bro!
This was my first full version FIFA, a huge upgrade for me who played demo until then. WHAT A GAME! Everything about it was perfect. The "FIFA flashback", the soundtracks, the graphics, the finesse shots, the career mode with press conferences and team chemistry. OOOOOOHHHHH thank you EA for some of the best time I've ever had!
I forgot this existed... Fifa 06 was my forst fifa game ever thanks for sharing
thank you for having this ❤️ this was talking to 6-7 year old me
The best Fifa intro ever. Still remember this. Remember starting it up and I was in chock. To bad the ain't making intros like this no more.
When football shines and leaves us breathless he swallows everything around. The voyage into the unknown fixes the power of the game and of the supporters. Everytime
Best FIFA Intro ever!!! 🔝
OLD GOOD TIMES
Shivers down the spine...
Rooney just made a goal like this today against CP!!!!! That is why im here brought back memories
POV: It is 2024 and you did not search for this video.
Sends shivers through my body everytime I watch this. Now brings tears too. So full of nostalgia. How I loved it!! Above all what a beautiful game football is! What fever! What passion! What elegance! Now wonder swami vivekananda and Osho understood that playing football infact is one way of reaching enlightenment.
Remember how right after this video would ended you were feeling so EMPOWERED and ready to drop bombs on the adversary field? #NothingBetter
Oh the memories 😍
Devs don't seem to know the words nostalgia or immersion these days 😭 and it's all about micro-transactions!!
fuck! that juninho free kick at 0:36 is one of the best shoots ive ever seen
That Juninho goal is what do it for me every time!
The Van Nistelrooy celebration vs Arsenal…. Can’t get enough of it. You can hear it with the sound on, you can *feel* it with the sound off
How many memories this video has brought me 🥹
That was the best fifa on my ps2. The intro was just amazing.
still best intro ever
shivers every time
Not the best Fifa, but definitely the best Intro!
it was a big improvement after 05
The biggest leap in terms of gameplay yet to date in the fifa series.
Vendetta 100% agree. this and 07
Fifa nowadays is just same thing with a little tweak or adjustement
Alpha2kBeta
Like Fifa 15 with a bendable corner flag or some deterioration of the grass. Like seriously!? EA is a fucking troll company. No one should buy Fifa 15!
DevilsClaw1991 Exactly. Stupid people still buy it but they´re stupid hey. Pes at least tries to make game-chnging improvements to their games.
The Best FIFA ever 👌
i usually watch this video everytime before i play any fifa game to get me pumped up
probably been 12 years at least since I played this game, but this intro along with FIFA 2002 world Cup and 2010 world cup are always the 3 intros that live in my mind rent free, wish EA would go back to making these good intros with emotion.
Goooooosebumps in 2024!!!! I loooooved this Intro. Still do!!
Ahhh!! Brings back all those high school memories
