Welsh soccer fans angry with Welsh National Team absense from FIFA 09

I’m a big fan of [manager] John Toshack’s side and I was looking forward to leading the team. I found England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and even New Zealand, but no Wales. I don’t know why but maybe the people at Fifa no longer see us as a footballing nation and think we are no longer worthy of a place in the game. There are Premiership players in the Welsh team coveted by the top European clubs… In all seriousness you have to wonder how we are not in the game and yet New Zealand are… In earlier versions of the game they used to have a Wales team. I imagine the market for this game in the UK is huge, so to ignore Wales is ridiculous. There are enough gaming members of the public in Wales. I find it really insulting. - Welsh soccer fan Noel Davies

There has to be some business decision behind this reasoning. Is it really all that hard to put another team in? I am not saying that all teams should be included, but with this team being included in the past…why cut them now?
