Homework Task - Blog Analysis

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/09/26/fifa-14-by-numbers_n_3998494.html?ir=UK+Sport

I chose this blog, firstly because Fifa 14 came out this week and I am a huge fan of the franchise.
As you can tell from the title, this blog is full of facts and statistics, these have been presented in the discourse form of bullet points and notes. Fifa is obviously about football, but for those who were not sure about this will know after reading things because of the numerous words that are in the lexical field of football, such as skill, finisher and passing. The blog is written in quite a formal register, this is shown in the use of low frequency lexis such as 'incarnation ' and 'endorsing'. This blog could also be seen as an advertisment to people who are not sure whether to buy the game or not. The use of this sophisticated language may come across to the reader that people who play this game are intellegent, which may turn out as a push factor of them purchasing the game.
