Description

Michael Owen was England's youngest ever goalscorer and biggest hero, until superseded on both counts by Wayne Rooney. He put his name to a game balanced between the action of an arcade game and the realism of a simulation.

The game incorporates the leading international teams along with some 200 domestic teams from Europe, USA and Japan. Each player's abilities are rated out of 10 in several key areas. Statistics including shots (in total and on target), fouls and possession are recorded. Set pieces are controlled by moving a line to direct the ball. While trying to play a pass, you can switch control to the player hoping to receive the ball.

You can choose from competition structures including leagues and Cup championships, a practice mode and single 'friendly' matches. with the World Cup perhaps the ultimate prize. It is also possible for you to design your own competitions.
