The thing about the football market having two flagship series as opposed to, say, the NFL's one, is that there are always two box art rituals to sit through. We've seen FIFA's, now let's look at Pro Evo's.

Appearing on the cover of this year's edition are Barcelona's pint-sized Argentinian Lionel Messi, who reprises his role from last year's box, and Liverpool's Fernando Torres, perhaps the most achingly beautiful man in European football.

Wonder what's behind the logo there, for them both to be looking at it so...longingly? Can't be money, they've got enough of that. Can't be that Photoshopped football, either. Must be a nice ham sandwich. Because all the money in the world can't guarantee you a good ham sandwich.
