Gameplay

The game takes place in the World Cup. The player can choose from 32 national teams. The tournament includes 7 games, divided into two groups of four teams and one final. Being an Arcade game, if it is lost only once, it will not be possible to continue playing. In case of a tie, the game is defined by a penalty shoot-out.[2]

As for the gameplay, the novelty is the cross pass button and the possibility of giving a pass forward to a teammate; but the player cannot handle passes in the player's direction. Another novelty is to boost the player's speed through a dribble to reach the rival area and make a powerful shot.

In case of losing, the game can be repeated using the option to continue in which it is possible to increase the strength or speed of the team up to a maximum of three times.

Notes
    gollark: HDDs are a bit stagnant right now, but SSDs continue to cheapen.
    gollark: You'd certainly hope so.
    gollark: You can put in as many as you want as long as you have SATA cables and internal space.
    gollark: 2TB and up HDDs and 480GB SSDs are surprisingly cheap now.
    gollark: Enjoy so very much dust!
