Games can be saved You can play as 8 teams. C. League Same as Tourny except no Groups. D. Playoff Go straight for the World Cup!! 16 teams compete for the gold. You can have 8! 4. Tips and Hints * Farther and higher shots from the goal score more! * If you control your goalie and oppo. has a corner, take goalie out and tap up the kick! It works! * To clear the ball fast, chest pass it to a buddy and volley it. * When going down, kicking for goal is different. Pressing down shoots it high, pressing left shoots it high and left, pressing right shoots it low and right, pressing up shoots it low. * Take your winger into the corner and have him chip in front of the goal, the, power-head it!! * To do the super-dribble, tap (B) when running, but don't hold it! This is a sure-fire way to lose defenders. You go faster and it is harder to steal. * Watch the penalties! * If a player is injured, replacing him doesn't fix the problem! You'll have to wait out the half. 5. Cheats Author's editorial note: The use of these cheat codes makes the game by far more fun and enjoyable! Ignoring them will not be tolerated!
