These may be the hardest trophies ever. Winning the World Cup online with a good team is tough and challenging but winning it with a 1 star team is impossible or very close to it.
You can boost these but they are still very hard to do it. After Advancing from the Group stage you can find your partner in the final 16. He lets you win. then your partner has to start over and make it to the final 8 and then meet you to give you the win again. then he has to start again make it to the Semi finals to let you win and then again for the final. You have to do this 3 times with a 1 star team, then a 2 star team, and a 3 star team.
Warning: You can not boost with someone from the same country as you because of the battle of nations. Have your boosting accounts be different countries when you are setting up your EA account the first time you log in.
You can't play against the same account twice in the same tournament. when boosting you have to create 4 different accounts for the final 16, final 8, final 4, and final. That's if you are able to progress through the group stage with a 1 star team without boosting.
When boosting or when you don't want to play your last game because you already advanced the group, you can quit after the 5 minute mark to save time. If you quit before then it won't count even if your losing. And you get all trophies even in the final if the other player quits.
When boosting your friend pick good teams like Argentina, Brazil, Spain or my favourite the Ivory Coast to be able to advance. Wait till you get an easier opponent like some South American 3 star countries or other people playing for these trophies as well. Those kids are sometimes a lot harder to beat but sometimes there really easy. Its a hit or miss.
Another easier way but requires more accounts: you and your boosting partner have 8 accounts and each account makes it out of the group. From there you boost each others teams to make it to the final to help out those 1 star teams. Keep track of where each account is at and which accounts have played each other.
Thank you to Sharkyalasso for a almost guarantee way to always get your boosting partner. Go to Setting in the Online Fifa World Cup menu and click controllers. Pick 2 button configuration and it only connects you to people using this configuration. Since no one actually uses this except you and your boosting partner you will always connect to him.

In order to get this achievement, you will have to win the Online FIFA World Cup with a team rated 1 star or lower.
In the Main Menu, select "Online Fifaworldcup" and select a 1-star rated team.
For all teams rated with 1 star check "Single Star Group Stage" above.
Even with a lot of skill this will prove to be a near-impossible feat, since being the better player doesn't win you games; there are still other factors that play into this, such as connection, luck, etc. There is a way however, to slightly improve your chances of winning.
Simply quit out at the beginning of each encounter (in the team/jersey screen BEFORE the game starts) if your opponent is too strong for your team (3 stars or higher).
From my experience, there is a chance you will get matched up with people playing with weak teams, too, so if you have enough patience, just quit out of every encounter until you find someone you're positive you can beat.
In total, you'll have to win 7 matches.
- Group Stage (3 matches)
- Round of 16
- Quarter Finals
- Semi Finals
- Final
