(The pitch diagram shows what each formation looks like.) THE MATCH For each country the panel shows: Name of country Statistics for player under control (i) Player number (ii) Sprint energy (iii) Kick power (iv) Kick angle HOW TO PLAY Player one controls the team in the Red strip (dark on the Spectrum) and Player two (or computer) controls the team in the Blue strip (light on the Spectrum). The game starts with the kick off. If you won the toss, or if it is your turn, one of your players makes a short pass to you and the game starts. The player under your control is indicated by a flashing arrow. (C64 only: player will be indicated by a flashing coloured strip). You move the player by pushing the joystick in the desired direction. To dribble, run your player into the ball. If kick power is low or zero the ball will be knocked a short way in front of the player in the direction in which he is moving. To kick the ball, hold the fire button down. Your power bar will begin to fill up; when the desired strength of kick has been reached, release the button. Now run the player into the ball, and the ball will be kicked in the direction your player is running with a speed and strength proportional to the level of power you have chosen. The small arrow under the kick power bar shows the angle at which you will kick the ball, i.e. chip or low ball. Press fire quickly to vary the angle. If the other team has possession of the ball, you can attempt a sliding tackle by holding the fire button down and pushing the joystick in the direction you want to slide. Free kicks, corner kicks and goal kicks are executed in a similar manner to normal kicks. The ball is placed in an appropriate position on the pitch, the control player starts from behind the ball and no other player is allowed to approach the ball until the kick has been taken. When a player knocks the ball over the sideline, the other team is awarded a throw-in. If it is your throw-in, one of your players will run to the correct position and prepare to take the throw. You select the direction of the throw with the joystick and choose your throw power in the same way you select kick power. Penalty kicks are awarded if a foul is committed against an opposing player in his own penalty box. The ball is then placed on the penalty spot and the other player takes a penalty. Unlike normal kicks, the power bar will now determine the angle of the kick. A low power level will result in a kick aimed directly at the goalkeeper, while a high power level will result in a kick aimed at the corner. When you move the joystick left or right the player then kicks the ball in that direction. Controlling the Goalkeeper. If your Goalie is visible and you do not have possession of the ball, when you hold the fire button down and push left or right the keeper dives in the selected direction. LOADING AND SAVING To save out to disk you will require a formatted blank disk. To save out to cassette you will require a blank tape. Move the cursor to select which game position you wish to load or save and press fire. Follow on screen instructions. HINTS AND TIPS When challenging for the ball always tackle from in front. If you touch the player before the ball you risk committing a foul. Play a passing game. If you keep one player on the ball for too long he will become tired and slow down. Keep passing the ball to help maintain the players' stamina at a high level. Play positional football. If you pass the ball in front of one of your team mates he can run and intercept the pass easily. Approach the goal from either side, as a straight attack is the easiest to save. Use a cross in front of the goal to confuse the keeper and make it easier to score.
