FIFA: Road to World Cup 98

Tip: Header shots are hard to do, but usually find the back of the net when taken from close range. Work on them.

Tip: One-time passes and/or shots in midfield, triggered before the ball gets to the foot, can tear a defense apart.

Tip: The game generally rewards good play and the benchmarks are shots on goal and possession in the offensive zone. Especially early, try your best to keep the ball in the far end, pouring everything you can on net.

Tip: To sharpen your quick passing skills, try the indoor game for a bit then go back outside. You won't believe the space you have to work with.

Tip: Six-plus button gamepad. Get one. It'll make headers, bicycle kicks, and other fancy stuff much easier.
