As you control the game you can switch actions and pull it off afterwards. For
example, as you have the ball, use the Boot-Arrow action to do a short pass or
shot. The three actions for outfielders while you have the ball:
Boot - Arrow Short Pass/Shot
Boot - Arrow - Arrow Long Pass/Shot
Player ~ Player Dribble
While you don't have the ball, the actions are slightly different:
Boot - Arrow Slide
Boot - Arrow - Player Slide into Player (may result in foul)
Player ~ Player Run faster
For throw-ins you only have two options:
Arrow Short Throw
Arrow - Arrow Long Throw
It's similar for goal kicks:
Arrow Short Kick
Arrow - Arrow Medium Kick
Arrow - Arrow - Arrow Long Kick
Corner Kicks:
Arrow Short Delivery
Arrow - Arrow Long Delivery
The game will automatically switch your control to the nearest player. There is
no way to do this manually.

The top half of the screen is the playing area. It takes up nearly all the
space. The bottom part s for actions, current player number and the time left
in the half. Your player has a small number over their head, '1' if you are
Player 1 and '2' if you are Player 2.
You only see the score when somebody scores, but you can press START to pause
the game and see the current score displayed in the center.

process of finishing 1st in the end. You can start a new game or
continue from a previous session. You may also trade players before you
start.
For the first two modes you can pick between 3, 5, 10 or 15 minutes per half.
At half time you don't actually get to pick anything but continue.
Notice that all players don't have stats, and are essentially the same person.
You can therefor also switch a striker to goalkeeper and achieve the same
results.

The goalkeepers in this game blow. Simply shoot long from around the area of
the penalty box to have a good chance to score. They don't even catch the ball,
but just leave it a their feet. Sure it's the same as catching, but shows you
how lousy the game design is for the 'keepers.
Dribble around to the side of the penalty box and the central defenders will
often run away as if you aren't a threat. You will be man-marked but won't have
to deal with three guys instead. Once you run back into the penalty box they
will return to haunt you, yet by then you will try and shoot to score.
Dribble is used to control the ball better and don't lose it quickly when the
opponent slides in. When you are far away from the other player controlling
the ball, switch to run to get near quickly. Don't give them an opportunity
to shoot, remember the first tip I gave you and think how that can apply to
others too.
Passing is a bit risky. You may just want to try and far up the field with one
player. When you are in the back and there are opponents approaching then boot
it forward before losing the ball, but once you are in attack just try and go
around the indiviuals and shoot.
