Description

Three Lions is a title designed to represent England's Football Association (which bears a crest featuring three lions). There are 32 official teams to choose in two modes to play. Tournament (with official settings) and exhibition match. Teams and players are developed with attention to statistic detail and featuring a unique face for each player, rendered from their likeness

There is one special feature. In every soccer game, there is very good commentary. In "Three Lions", there is no commentary. No phrases like "Owen shoots" or "Barthez saves". You can almost feel the real atmosphere of the football match where the players are shouting at each other, referee is telling you to stop playing the injury and defensemen are complaining about the quality of the pitch.

Trivia

The England crest also inspired the song 'Three Lions', which was recorded for the 1996 European Championships as an official team song by comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner (of Fantasy Football fame), and pop group The Lightning Seeds. It reached the UK number 1 position, and surprisingly is one of only 2 Top 10 hits the perennially popular Lightning Seeds have scored. In 1998 a new version was released with updated lyrics, and this also topped the chart, backed by 'Tout Et Possible' (literally 'It is Possible', referring to the chances of England winning the 1998 World Cup in France).
