Viva Football intro (World Cup History 1958 - 1998)

Intro of Viva Football (known as Viva Soccer in the US), a not well known videogame made by Eidos and Virgin in 1998.

The intro shows memorable moments from FIFA World Cups (from 1958 to 1998). See how many can you identify!

In case you wanna know more: Viva Football was a cool football (obviously) game, focused on the World Cup history. Players could relive any WC from '58 to '98, including qualifications. Even the most obscure teams, like Luxembourg or Samoa, were present, and they all had authentic players' names.
Some funny features of this gem were the ability to foul the referee, and complete control over goal celebrations.
