Honestly, if Konami actually drops this France 1998 pack, it’s going to completely break everyone's coin savings. Looking at an endgame Patrick Vieira, Lilian Thuram, and Marcel Desailly is just insane.

A lot of us have been holding out for a French National Team World Cup version of Vieira specifically to get him back as a broken Anchor Man. If they give him skills like Long Reach Tackle or Phenomenal Pass on top of his usual physical stats, the midfield is going to be completely locked down.

Are you guys emptying your wallets if a pack like this actually drops during the World Cup celebration, or are you still holding onto your coins?

When it comes to carry the team on the biggest stage, no one comes close to Lionel Messi! He is the game changer! Ronaldo is far away! 😳🥶👀

🇵🇹 Cristiano Ronaldo

🏟️ 213 Matches

⚽ 141 Goals

🎯 22 Assists

🇦🇷 Lionel Messi

🏟️ 206 Matches

⚽ 124 Goals

🎯 42 Assists

Ronaldo has more international goals, but Messi has more assists, more complete performances, and the biggest prizes in international football. 🌟

🏆 One World Cups. 🏆 Two Copa Américas. 🏆 Finalissima. 🥇 Olympic Gold.

🐐 When football talks about greatness, Messi's international legacy speaks for itself. 🇦🇷👑🔥

✅ 2007 — It was Messi vs Kaka & Ronaldo in the FIFA Best Player of the Year! 🏆

✅ 2026 — It is Messi vs Mbappe & Haaland in the Golden Boot race of FIFA World Cup! 🤯

19 years apart, different generations but same Lionel Messi at the top of football! 🇦🇷🐐💫

When fans discuss the golden era of modern Serie A defending, the conversation instantly shifts to iconic names like Maldini, Baresi, Nesta, Cannavaro, and Cafu.

But one guy who rarely gets the same legendary status or hype today is Gianluca Zambrotta.

Why doesn't Zambrotta get nearly as much praise and recognition as the other icons of that 2006 generation? Is he the most underappreciated Italian player ever?

If you saved up 13.5k coins to clear a box, you need a player who stays in your team forever.

If I have to choose only one, it's Vieira. He fixes your midfield spine permanently.

Who are you guys dropping your hard-earned savings on?

Alright, so I’m a younger fan and obviously never watched these guys live. I was just looking at old Serie A stats, and I saw that in the 196 games Franco Baresi and Paolo Maldini started together as center-backs, AC Milan only conceded 23 goals.

​Bro... what? That literally sounds like a typo or a video game cheat code. That’s like 1 goal every 8.5 games.

​For anyone who actually watched them back in the day: Were they really just that impossible to pass, or was the style of football back then just completely different? Did they ever make mistakes?

​Also, it got me thinking is there any other center-back duo in football history that even comes close to this level of dominance?

🇦🇷 When Argentina lost vs Saudi Arabia (2022):

🗣️ “Where is Messi?”

🗣️ “Messi is finished bro”

​

🇵🇹 When Portugal drew vs DR Congo (2026):

🗣️ “Why doesn’t Bruno & Neves Pass?”

🗣️ “Don’t blame our Ronaldo, he is 41”

​

This shows, being Lionel Messi & play top level football is very tough! When the team suffers, the whole world starts talking about Messi! 😮

​

Even since Messi’s debut, people started excepting from him to play as like Maradona! 🐐😳💫

If you are a free-to-play player wondering where to invest your hard-earned coins right now, the answer is definitely the France National Pack.

If you are sitting on your coin savings and looking for a guaranteed, competitive squad upgrade without dealing with 150-player Epic box RNG, skip the bait packs and lock this one in!

How are the rest of you finding the national packs in Phase 12? Anyone else pushing deep into Div 1 with a full themed squad?

Whenever the goalkeeper GOAT debate happens, names like Manuel Neuer, Iker Casillas, and Lev Yashin get thrown around. But if you look at the combination of peak performance, hardware, and sheer longevity, Gianluigi Buffon’s resume is almost impossible to touch.

Critics always point to his lack of a Champions League trophy, despite making three finals. But does missing one club trophy actually matter when you have dominated the sport for 25+ years?

Is Buffon the definitive number one, or does someone else edge him out?

​I am a big fan of these players and the 2006 Italian World Cup national team. I don't own any previous cards of Pirlo or Buffon, and these players would definitely improve the positions in my squad. Right now, my GK, LB, RB, and DMF positions are really bad compared to my other positions.

​I am a free-to-play player, but I have saved up a huge amount of coins enough to completely clear two full 150/150 player packs. Would these cards significantly improve my F2P squad and help me compete in high-division PvP?

Every time a premium Big Time or Epic goalkeeper drops, the community gets into a massive debate over whether emptying a 150-player box for a keeper is actually worth it.

​

When you look at cards like Big Time Buffon, Epic Peter Schmeichel, Petr Čech, or Edwin van der Sar, their stats are undoubtedly absurd. They hit massive reach benchmarks, carry perfect keeper skills out of the box, and give you that permanent B-Condition safety net so you never have to worry about pre-match down-arrows.

Is this pack worth it?

Konami is absolutely cooking with the latest update announcement. We are getting a massive injection of 2,075 free coins across various upcoming campaigns, making it the perfect time to boost your stash if you're saving up to clear a box.

​

On top of the free currency, they officially revealed four absolute "Legends of All Time" Epic cards coming to the game:

​🇮🇹 Alessandro Del Piero

​🇧🇷 Ronaldinho Gaúcho

​🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Wayne Rooney

​🇫🇷 Patrick Vieira

​

Which of these four legends are you guys saving your coins for, and are you planning to complete all these campaigns to max out the free 2,075 coins?

Who would you add to the pack?
