____________________________________________________


There are no words to say what this game is.
For the 1st time we have a game almost 100%
real. When i`ve played this game for the first
time i could not belive in my eyes. It`s simply
the best. For all the persons that don`t know
what football is , just see the videos that are
in the game. In this FAQ i`m going to show the
best starting eleven for every nacional team
and the best 23 players to chose to go to the
2002 Korea Japan World Cup.

____________________________________________________

             TIPS FOR THE GAME
____________________________________________________

Use the 4-4-2 formation.
This is the most used formation in soccer.The
2 central midfield players play in front of the
defence.It's a very defencive formation.It's
a very important formation to use with teams
that have players that aren't very good .
If you chose this type of formation you must
have a player or two that have good speed
skills.Use the long balls and the speed of your
players to try to score some gols.
Don't try to drible the players.Try passing the
ball to one of your fellow players.Make sure
you have a good starting lineup and also a
good strategy.Don't forgett to substitute an
injured player as soon as possible.Put the ball
out of play to make changes.Also remember
that players who take many yellow cards will
miss a match.
Make changes in the lineup to avoid this.
During the game don`t forgett to see the
energie of your players.Green is good but if
it`s getting yellow change the player.
The easy way to score gols in this game
is this :
- Try to pass the ball to the players that are
 near the side line.
- Run with the ball until you are near the final
 line.
- Make a cross pass to the players in the
 oponents area.
- Press the shoot and you will score.
This strategy is very good to be used with
all teams.Even with teams that have very good
defence players this is very easy to be done.
THE GOAL KEEPER
The goal keeper is one of the most important
players of the game.With him you must be
very careful to not make a wrong pass to the
forwards of the other team.
Do not move to much when the forwards of
the other team are near
just stay still to try to stop their shoots.
THE DEFENCE
Dont make things bad.If you see that your
player cant control the ball shoot it.Dont try
to make dribles in a defence position.If you
lose the ball things will be bad to you.Dont
make penaltys.This is most of the times the
reason to a red card.Be careful with the high
balls.Just try to be better than the forwards
of the other team.
THE MIDLEFIELD
Its with this players that all the game is made
since a good pass made to the forwards can
be a goal.The best thing to do is to make a
pass only when you can see that your forward
is free of the defence.If you can not make a
pass just advance with the ball until you have
a good passing line to the forwards.If you see
that your defence is having problems try to
help them.
THE FORWARDS
Do things the easy way.Dont drible becuse you
can lose the ball control.Try to make the
shoots very simple.A good forward is the one
that can score a lot of goals.
THE SIDE PLAYERS
To this field position you must chose a player
that haves a good speed.Try to run as fast as
you can and try to go almost to the other
teams area making cross passes to your
forward.
