Anyone remember the bug with it, chip the ball up on the edge of the 18 yd box, head it at the keeper, he'd punch it out, then diving header straight past him, worked everytime in the earlier games
We had a vrsion of this game with European clubs in South Africa...classic...
Another tip, right after kickoff, run far left and when you reach the edge of the circle, leave the direction control and press lob-kick...the player should lob the ball about head-hight, hold the forward direction and push the lob-kick again and he shoulsd header the ball forward. a defender wil ltry to chase down the ball but you should beat him easily to it
There's actually a way of scoring from kick-off in every game up to and including the final:
1) Run left as far as the edge of the centre circle.
2) Turn abruptly right and lob kick.
3) A player will be on the end of the ball as soon as it lands. Be ready to start him running diagonally down right until he's about level with the point where the arc meets the box.
4) Continue running to the right in line with this point.
can u remember that table top soccer game based on world cup 86 ??? top down view i always loved that one hmmmm what was it called ???? it was really fast catchy tune quite addictive and very hard after 2nd match one of the first and best world cup arcade games....
@Xyphoe yes :) bloody hell wish i was better than 2 level at most of these cool arcade football games always struggled to score goals in harder levels.......
most foun soccer game ever and really addictive,waht other socer games are are fun to play as this eg other arcade soccer games as gud or better than this whatabout the virtua strikes
Hey man - probably "Football Champ" which I've done a video of if you look in my channel. For other 'old skool' arcade soccer games checkout Premier Soccer and Kick And Run but they're not quite as good. Super Sidekicks series is ok too :)
You can score from kick off. Run foward and before you reach the end of the center circle press high pass. Then low shoot diagonal. You can do this up to about the 5th match.
Nice come back during the semi-final. It's probably my favorite soccer of all time, I love how your teammate are going where you pass the game.
I found out a new way to score with your video, I use mostly the "goaly air duel", when you hit it with the head getting closer and closer and on third time you score.
There is an other technique you may not be aware of, it to shot very very close to the south post from far away, the goaly cannot jump that far :D !
Hi mate - thanks and yea I would definitely say it's my fav arcade soccer game - I also love Football Champ but there's something about this one! Maybe its the nostalgia playing it every year on seaside holidays! If an arcade didn't have this game I'd go and complain!! hehe
And yea there's lots of ways to score, I used the 'goalie air duel' once in this, and I did try the other at 0.34secs in, my favourite is to kick the ball in the air stationary in the box and your team mate rushes in and you can scissor kick it past the goalie! This was actually quite a poor run for me with inventive goals, one vid I made I won the first game 6-0 and scored all kinds of crazy goals, but in last game they snuck an equaliser at 3secs left ruining the vid!!!

@stevenhall123 Yea I know man, I commented earlier I knew of this trick, but I actually only discovered it shortly before making the video. I didn't practice much before making this (and its a not a particularly spectacular run), I used to complete this in the arcades all the time and thought I'd dig this up in Mame and relive some memories :)

@cpc4eva
Xyphoe is correct. It is Tehkan World Cup. Check it on youtube and you'll recognise it.
I wonder how it will work on MAME as I used to hammer the trackball when playing it. Great game.
