EA Sports Mess Up St.Patrick's Day Ultimate Team Feature

Not only has Wayne Rooney made a mess of his St.Patrick's Day tribute today, but EA Sports haven't fared much better in their attempt to celebrate the patron saint of Ireland.

The video game behemoths decided to treat gamers with a special St.Patrick's Day Ultimate Team feature in which the cards of 23 players were turned green from 16th March-21st. There was only one problem. One of the players has notoriously decided against playing for Ireland at full international level.

Aston Villa's Jack Grealish was included among the 23 players, despite pledging his international allegiance to England last year after representing Ireland at U17, U18 and U21 level.

And, in an even more unfortunate turn of events for the FIFA creators, world football's governing body have today granted Grealish's request to play for England. Perfect timing, lads...
