Retro: World Cup '98

[MySZa97byFingerBoard]

German goalkeeper was the best player in this match :)

[tswfootball]

haha my first game..

[marconerineri]

Fifa98 e World Cup 98 sono stati in assoluto,per me,i migliori giochi di calcio del mondo!Lo so,la grafica era quella che era ma solo uno dell'89(o giù di lì)sanno cosa significano in termini affettivi questi giochi...Così come il primo ''Medal of Honor''per ps1....Fantastici,leggende,bas­i solide dei giochi attuali...Quanto vorrei rigiocarci cazzo,beata infanzia

[OmarNiyazi]

my favourite football game of all time. this is the game i started playing video games with, epic game!

[santiagovv99]

this is better than fifa 12 or any new game

[Blitzbok]

@santiagovv99 To be honest with you, there have been many new advancements to FIFA. But one thing remains, poor AI.

[TheOtherSaluton]

3:24 "Well, John, I think it could be a..." what second half please?

[samas007]

@fraz1777 He beats Martin Tyler and Andy Gray in the more recent FIFA games.

[kjsh987]

i get the world cup with france.disgracefully one time because later the disc get obsolet

[MrOntological]

what a classic, i used to play this game over n over. It looks so basic now, but back then it was cutting edge lol

[unc0695]

I like FIFA 11

[breakronaldosknees]

simply awesome

[DBOwnz]

good old times where u could tackle the keeper

[Drjimbillybob]

A whole video where Motson never mentioned 1966 I dont believe it

[OreoMan951]

dude the ball looks so tiny compared to the players.

[IWillSexU]

i'm not in football games..but WC 98 is my fav of all soccer video games..

[Antzcceltic1]

first fifa game i ever played :)

at the time every one thought the graphics were great :P

and if you think about it those games were harder than fifa 2010 or 2009 coz you didnt have all the ways to avoid defenders

[xNariahx]

Used to play this game religiously back in the day. Absolutely brilliant, they just don't make games like this anymore.

[StingRazor]

legend i spent ages on this game lol

[dev729]

i remember this game, one of the first games i ever played for N64.

England FTW

[digger1407]

damn this game is a classic.. i used to play this game everyday and i remember the first time i played the tournament i used brazil.. coincidently, the final was france vs brazil so it was really like the actual thing.. but my brazil won that time ahaha

[SeahawksFanUK]

Love it!

[hamsterhump]

hey bro this game is the shit lol, i used to play this on N64 until they robed me :P

haha do you remember when in the brakes after u scored you could play the drums in the audience, I miss this...

[Veranek]

THIS was THE GAME!!

[Pompoen10]

My sister always tackled the keeper and received tons of red cards XD For me this is still the best PS1 game.

[MrLittlejb]

please does someone can find me the download of this game....pleaseeeee

[Rheinmetall1974]

LOL at 2:34. I love it when games try to be realistic.

[samas007]

Back in the day when video games had good commentators =]

[fraz1777]

@samas007 John Motson is the shittest most biased commentator ever!

[dwarssttraat180]

@samas007 nice shot at 2:45

[KillerNewBlood]

bak in tha day!

[tamj15]

que recuerdos me traen estas imagenes!! ejej

[qmR2008]

the player looked like orang utans..

[rockertillmydeath]

fuck this game brings me soo many memories :)

[OtadzbinaiKrv]

and it ended 2:2, because we were so much relaxed after two goal lead and it costed us

[OtadzbinaiKrv]

my team almost kicked german asses 1998, and it was Yugoslavia (Serbia) we had a lead 2:0!

[UROSSSSSSSSSSSZ8]

Da secam se ko da je juce bilo.Bar smo mogli da ih oderemo u ovoj igri.

Great memories for this game.

[OtadzbinaiKrv]

meni je to bilo prvo svetsko prvenstvo da pratim al bas svaku utakmicu, gledao sam i neke iz kvalifikacija 96/97.Imao sam 7 godina al se secam svega. Od utakmice sa ovim svabovima pa do holandije. I osta mi u pamcenju ona svinja bergkamp krv mu jebem kako igra ko stoka, dobro ostao ziv onaj nas. Ovo je bio najbolji sastav nasih, a i fudbal 90-tih je bio bolji nego danas. Videcemo kako ce nasi igrati sad na svetsko 2010. Mozda budu i bolji od ovih, samo da prodjemo grupu ima da karamo kevu dalje

[UROSSSSSSSSSSSZ8]

Joooj da ova generacija je legendarna i na Evropskom prvenstvu 2000 smo isto karali(najbolje Hrvate u kvalifikacijama,hehe).Bice svasta na svetskom prvenstvu sledece godine,mozemo svasta da uradimo,voleo bih da dobijemo Holandjane da im se osvetimo za ono iz 2006(Argentince ne bih voleo,ali Holandjani su nam vecna muka na Svetskim takmicenjima)

[Gwardiakoszalin111]

pamietam jak mozna bylo podczas celebrowania strzelonej bramki np. kwadratem dawac odglosy kibicow

[datriadx18]

I loved this game sooooooo much. It was my first football game for the PS1. The music in the menus kicked so much ass.

[SWmarko]

is this world cup or road to world cup?

[AngeloBlaze]

World Cup

[StevieWondersWhy24]

i sill play this on my ps1.

[antikriszt]

I WAS AN ADDICT OF THIS GAME!! Damn! it sounds fucking realistic even for today standards!

[Paddy317xD]

I think this was my first football game that i ever played :D

[SmashDaddy88]

you could slide tackle the keeper and get sent off. alot of fun

[josevanreyes]

LMAO. This was my first ever game when i was 8 years old. I remember i always picked Germany and Neuville was sick!

[meggieomez20]

ahhh i remember playin this in th summer holidays when at school

i love memories

[Aztekloko24]

what was cool about this game was that u could control the fans when you would score a goal. You could either make them chant or blow horns by using the yellow buttons on the n64 controller. That is something that todays games lack on.

[j9lyons]

I remember the keepers used to get pissed and attack the camera sometimes on this game, brilliant!!

[boeing74700]

YES

[antikriszt]

hahaha!!! I REMEMBER THAT TOO!! theres nothing like that nowadays...

[mchachaabl]

AAH... good old times

[nickjb01]

Oh my fucking god. This was the first ever football game I had, and this brings back so many memories. Awesome.

[mehtol]

Same here! Thanks for the vid.

[michelrpg]

What I loved about this game was when you were in a 2p game (1 vs 1) and you'd turn off the referee and cards and such, you could have a match on who could kick the other teams players from the field as quickly as possible :P...

[siltopian7]

germany with blue white shirts? hahahaha

[Javierdaleboca]

it's dark green you retard newb.

[SantiBotero]

The classic mode was mythic. Great game. Almost every corner was goal :P

[lRedBaronl]

[andreharrison400]

[AngeloBlaze]

Well in a spiritual sense at least. Where I live, Kent, the best team is League 1 Brighton O_o

[andreharrison400]

Haha, well at least you're a London supporter. Therefore you get a cookie from me. ;)

[TemaShika24]

Hi!!!!!

I like your video.

A PS1, eh? I might have to try Sony consoles someday...

[AngeloBlaze]

PS1 and PS2 were both excellent consoles. PS3 not so much at the moment, but it still has time to prove itself.

[TemaShika24]

Hm...okay. I think I'll just stick to Nintendo though.

My last day here. :(

[ryangiggsfan]

ps3 arent that bad they work well, gd graphics, free online and like u say they still got more time to prove its worth

[AngeloBlaze]

I have a PS3, I'm not saying that they're bad, I'm just saying that currently they're not as good as the PS1/PS2 were games wise, but there's a lot of time for great games to come out.

[ryangiggsfan]

no doubt but ive found games 4 it that arent famous yet r brilliant but yeh agree wiv wot ur saying

[ninjasinmyhat]

"One question, to pose to all you Americans out there, why is American Football called football?"

Why is the European bathroom called the "Loo"? :P

[AngeloBlaze]

Well that's actually only an English thing, not a European thing. And loo's just slang for it. We normally call a bathroom, in the going to the toilet context, just a "toilet" considering not all bathrooms have toilets.

I have a bad feeling this is going to turn into a European versus America argument >_>

[zerobeat1234]

>_> oh bother im not geting involved

[ryangiggsfan]

im english and never heard anyone say 'loo' and

second the rivalry of europe america is in battle here

[nyk10000]

European football is better than amercanian

[Rinsting]

Bitch, if you make fun of American Football, I will mess you up. As for why it's called that, I have absolutely no idea. :/

[AngeloBlaze]

I'm not making fun of it, I just wanted to know why the game was called "football" in your country, as it is a game played mainly with your hands.

[Rinsting]

Dunno, really. We didn't like your version of Football, so we changed it. -.-

[Tobibohn]

Why against germany ? :(

[AngeloBlaze]

Lol, sorry, thought it'd be an idea considering the rivalry between England and Germany.

[CDub7888]

Man, I love the announcer's voice! He voices almost every soccer game I've ever played! I wish I can't get his name down...

And your guess is as good as mine. In order to separate ourselves, America has to do everything differently from the rest of the world. That's why we don't use the Metric System, why cars on the road go the opposite direction and some other things I just don't understand. Eh, but I live here so I deal with it.

[AngeloBlaze]

The commentator's name is John Motson, as you were wondering.

[Narutoowmsall]

Hehe, stole the words out of my mouth. America's always been a bit 'too' independent when it comes to major tools, which makes us learn other measuring systems, temperature, names, and so on.. Which is a pain when you go and visit Canada and try and tell someone the length in feet. -_-

[CDub7888]

Yeah, somebody said that to my class in high school and I was like "Huh, that's a pretty good point."

Don't know why it is, but it isn't really hindering me, so I guess it's acceptable. Kinda late on a giant overhaul on how we do things in America.
