fifa 15 game

So I've come across a problem. I'm the the Player mode for Career mode and I've played up to the 2016 World Cup. I see the news notification saying that I was selected to play for my National team during the World Cup. Although when I get up to the game it sims through the days as if I wasn't selected. 
Note I didn't get an email stating I would be selected. Also I am in the Champions Cup Finals and I dont know if that has anything to do with it because the news report gets sent the day before the Cup Finals. This happened with another International Cup in the previous years of My Player's career.

I know in Fifa 14 you were allowed to play in the International Cup Games, but did they take that out in Fifa 15? I didn't think this was the case because there is the option to coach for your National team as a manager.

If anyone has not come across this problem please let me know that way I know if its just my game/file or if they took out the international cup games for Fifa 15. Thanks so much.
