Goal!

The Good
The gameplay is awesome. You only need one joystick with a single fire button to achieve all the soccer moves you can imagine. This is a kind of champagne soccer game. You can score a lot but there is many ways to do it and that's the best part. I even scored a goal on a corner kick once. You need to practice a bit in order to understand all the moves that are possibles, how to keep the ball, give an effect to the shot. It's worth it!

The Bad
In order to play, you have to load a team database first. This team databases don't work together and that's the problem. I give you an example: you couldn't do a national league and the european championsleague. Hence, if you had done well in your national league you didn't get to play an European cup the next year (you didn't get to play the next year anyway). But also there was a database with all the best European team of various country (the setup default one and the best). I remember that one could edit the database (import team, change player names, change jersey style an colour etc.)

The Bottom Line
From my point of view, it brought to top-down view soccer game as much as ISS brought to 3D soccer game.
