Classic Game Room HD - CHAMPIONSHIP SOCCER for Atari 2600

[glitchedgamer]

This game IS Pele's Soccer, I think just before Atari got the endorsement.

[miryjur]

He was joking for fuck's sake.

[CatTitBingo]

lol i thought this one was pele's soccer.

[dragosv87]

@cmikemr: soccer comes from the term: "association football"

[ProtegeComputersInc]

Don't misunderestimate America!!!

[vansadio]

foot+ball...a sport using hand is HAND+ball=handball

[niksa999oh]

why would a game that you kick a BALL with your FEET is called FOOT BALL ? did you seriously ask this question? so americans are really stupid :/

[deadlygroove1]

@niksa999oh It's called a "Joke" and he was using something which is called "Sarcasm". Since you were unaware of that, you are in no position to be calling anyone "Stupid".

[jtomally9681]

@niksa999oh Americans are not stupid. Football is the original name for the sport. The U.S. calls it soccer because football was already used here for what we call football. It would be confusing to have two completely different sports with the same name.

[jtomally9681]

This looks more like Rugby to me rather than Soccer.

[wrongfire]

So should we call football, turn based hand ball? Why does it have to be literal? Soccer is just another fucking name for football. I don't get why people care at all what its called since clearly soccer refers to "football" and nothing else. wtf does rugby mean? or golf? Shouldn't golf be stick ball? or better yet, aluminum ball.

[lentzquest]

The 2600 Soccer game I prefer over both this one and Realsports is called International Soccer. It's one of those crappy looking M Network carts and is 2 player only, but it rocks.

[beachpartydude]

if someone asked me do you like soccer

I would say no

if someone asked me do you like football

I would say yes

Here in Ireland and England its called football not soccer because soccer is gay but football is good is that ok America

[JasonNuka]

Guys in America it's called Football because you use your HANDS bit your foot. That's called soccer. Why would kicking a ball with your feet be called football?

[bassie52]

We call it football because foot: the thing on the end of your legs. ball: the thing you kick. Makes more sense then soccer.

[jtomally9681]

Dude? Football was the most original name for Soccer before it was renamed to Soccer.

[141nptt]

with whole respect to the guy in this video , its call foot ball not a soccer . and I do not know why we call it soccer in america

[oconnell5522]

@141nptt because in here in america theres another sport called football

[segafan230]

yes americans says soccer and europeans[like me] say football THANKS FOR CALLING ME/US  WIERDO

[AGWhiteman]

I think it's inspired by table football!

[codster1110]

what about kickbaLL?

[BigDuke6ixx]

I had this back in 1980 when I was 15. I cost me £30.00 back then. It was a fucking rep off.

[KiraBlackwater]

I love the way the ball only ever goes about 3 yards then stops. Like it's made of stone. And square.

[OneFourThreeFourOne]

Wow. The players move exactly like they do in Madden 10.

[no1cp]

I can't believe everyone thinks he was being serious... man, he lays his sarcasm on REALLY thick too. =/

[IRAQI6TNT]

Why do you keep saying football and soccer? what is soccer?

[Bittergamer1886]

@IRAQI6TNT In America, futbol is soccer.

[Bittergamer1886]

@IRAQI6TNT In America, futbol is soccer.

[curedude77]

@Bittergamer1886 America? is there a country called "America"??? because the sport is called "futbol" or "football" in America (the continent). 

[Bittergamer1886]

@curedude77 You're prolly not familiar with the USA. America is another common term for the United States of AMERICA. You don't hear Canada's nickname being America! Also, you'd be wrong with the Futbol thing. Soccer in America is Futbol in every other country. And Football is a totally different sport from Soccer, or as foreigners not from America call it, futbol. So football is football and soccer is soccer here. However, football is called football and soccer is called futbol there. :I

[onecreativecriminal]

wasn't this also called Pele's Soccer?

[kannoff316]

Soccer is actually a a shortened version of the term "association football". American football was actually in some way inspired by "soccer" (11 players, large field) with a more tactical "dead ball" style of play forcing players to tighten up their positions on the field and allowing hand contact, and in many cases full contact tackling. The more you know.

[Albozfolife]

is there a website like dat for psp or ps2

[thejordan01]

I still have an atari with this game.

awesome.

[kamaaladiin]

wow i remember playing this game with my daddy ... miss you daddy rest in peace

[H3MetalC0rE]

Dude we European call the game football cause the game is called FOOTball mean you have to play with your feet and you play with hands so your game should change name !

[luigis1fan]

hey bitch we spanish pple call it football cuz its a sport played wit your foot not your hand stupid fucktard

[ascoria980]

everyone prefers FIFA anyway..

adn "football" is not suposed to be called like that if u dont use your feet AwesomeGamer64 is correct.

[Quinxcunz]

No it articulates soccer to a T.

[rocksoliddude1]

championship coloured dots, running constantly in a perfect triangle, with a square ball

[ZarayFromRussia]

Crowd noise is awesome

[AwesomeGamer64]

you call us weirdos!!!!!!!!!! no football here should be called throw ball cuz u "throw" the ball. Its called football because u use your "feet"!!!

[ikeano29]

we call it soccer in ireland too. no big deal people

[rayotron]

New sport: synchronized football/soccer xD

[fpvshitsonhsv]

Pele's soccer is this game i used to play this as a kids for hours and mine was pele's wich is the same as this

[morro281]

HOLY SHIT PEOPLE, i think he was joking.

[NintendoACA]

Actually,futbol! lol! And besides,I never understood why the call American football,football. The only kicking you do is when you try to gain an extra point,or when you make the first kick. The rest is basically done with their hands... I dunno,Im not a fan of football XD

[Chazzi27]

Rugby used to be called Rugby football, as it sort of evolved from Soccer or Futbol. When various forms of Rugby merged we had what is Football in America. And for some reason instead of using some variation of the word Rugby for the new hybrid, we went with Football. This of course resulted in the mess of nomenclature that is the modern day Football / Futbol issue.

[NintendoACA]

O.0... You sure know your sports,don't you?

[fulkinghell]

why is this such a big deal? grow up and worry about things far more important like world hunger and other things we could abolish with just a bit more common sense.. great review btw mark lol

[catsblow]

im american but its so stupid for you to say how you dont know why people would call it football maybe its cuz they kick the BALL with their FOOT fagget

[diogofmaciel]

if you play a ball with your FOOT, it has more sense if you call it FOOTball. How you americans say that FOOTBALL (american thing that you play with hands) its really football?? I think you need turn on your neurons, stupid

[emman4444]

yes but us americans have to call it soccer. there are many haters out there that don't like football soccer. and if we would call it football here in USA. People would be like wtf? its called soccer. so we just have to call it soccer

[xilin2007]

USA = soccer

Rest of the World = Football

[atari2602]

lol @ the humor impaired

[animaldf]

lmao

"if you play with your hands its football , but if you use your feet then its soccer" lol @ dumbass

[ChuckSmagman11]

Hahaha....I used to have this game !!! Awesome times....! Havent played this game in over 20 years...makes one feel old :( LOL

[cmikemr7]

football=foot+ball

soccer=???

[dgdbg]

soc+cer ofcourse...

[kurisux]

sock + Emergency Room

--

Sock + E.R

--

Soccer: the most serious sport ever.

[SarafanLord101]

@kurisux next to rugby and hockey, yes a serious sport. :)

[rejectofsoul24]

@cmikemr7 hand + ball + run= football?

[Bittergamer1886]

@cmikemr7 I think soccer should be football, and football should be soccer. Why?

1. Soccer is called futbol in all other countries.

2. You KICK the ball!

3. You rarely kick the ball in football.

[pavezxxD]

@cmikemr7 Sock + Her

[beaverpitt]

@cmikemr7 soccer= association + football

short for association is assoc.

then people made it easier to say, soccer.

[MrTURBOJOHN]

@cmikemr7 soccer = suck + her

Well, just american and english say soccer, in the rest of the europe, we say football, and american football for football xD

[MrMynameismine]

@MrTURBOJOHN English do NOT say soccer. Only Americans call it ''soccer'' because ''football'' has a different meaning to them. American Football is not popular in the international world because it's an extremely boring and frustrating sport, just try watching an american football game once, you'll fall asleep in 10 minutes, guaranteed. It's just big men crashing into each other and the game restarts every minute, it's really pointless to sit and watch something like that.

[MrTURBOJOHN]

@MrMynameismine sorry, my mistake

and yeah, american football is like watching people on doping being remote controlled to crash into each other, I'm not a big fan of soccer, but oh well

[TheNgamerz]

@MrMynameismine It's still an important sport due to coming from the #1 superpower on the face of the planet.

[bxistris]

@cmikemr7 Cause' U put SOCKS on your FEET.

[bxistris]

@cmikemr7 Cause' U put SOCKS on your FEET and u kick the ball with your FOOT.

[jtomally9681]

@cmikemr7 Soccer was originally named Football but was called Soccer later on in the years.

[ChicagoBears93]

being english i call it football and that makes perfect sense to me. anyway this game looks quite fun lol. you should review the pele game.

[LitterboxDiorama]

I had Pele and it was my first experience with vengeful AI............not witnessed until 'Driver' for the Playstation 1 years later

[Rocktecho]

In England the sport where you kick the ball is Football, and the game where you hold the ball is Rugby.

[doubleot]

Pele's soccer was released first, than the game's name was changed to championship soccer. They're the same game.

[HatNJ]

Actually Championship soccer was 1st and had a sticker on it that it was endorsed by Pele then it was re packed as Pele's Soccer....have all the Atari VCS 2600 Catalogs and Bought Championship Soccer when it came out

[mucocele]

jajaja don't shit jajaja

what a asshole, Football, for the world is football for you is soccer

will be handball dude!!

[longrodvonhugendon]

yeah football is obviosly a game where you use your hands it makes so much sense just look at the word itself FOOTBALL notice that hand isnt anywhere in the word gosh you ceptics!

[richiecanavan]

"football is obviously a game that you play with your hands" what an ass i agree with you long

[mrrjenkims]

The football game was so much more fun than soccer.

[notyoursavior78]

LOL Atari Field hockey.

[mazinkaizar]

shit, i used to play this game with my friends

[gdement]

Pele's Soccer and Championship Soccer are the same game. No need to buy both.

I loved this game when I had chances to play it, mainly because I was a big fan of indoor soccer in those days. Red team was the Wichita Wings, blue was usually the hated St Louis Steamers.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Interesting fact, the reason its called "Soccer" is because its an abbrevation of the sports real name Association Football" and as theres a "soc" in it, its called "Soccer".

Yes I know its shit, blame 1870's Oxford public schoolboys, not me :D

[sinistermoon]

Haha ok I think I will pass on playing this game.  But I look forward to your Burger Time video.

[downet5]

Grr American "Football" is just Rugby with fancy armour on

[AcousticDave94]

oh go back to europe or play the stupid game

[SashaNein]

And World "Football" is just a game where unsportsmanlike people flop over at the slightest graze and FAKE an injury to gain an unfair advantage. See: 2006 World Cup Finals.

Can we move on from the RETARDED STEREOTYPE POSTS in every single soccer/football video EVER made? The "American Football Sucks" post is just the same as, "Hrm, I think I'll go try and piss people off just because I want attention!"

[fattpieceofcrap]

wow. i cant believe i used to play games like this for hours on end
