World Cup 98 — About this game
World Cup 98 combines football on the pitch with choices made before kickoff. Pick a national team for an exhibition, full tournament, playoffs or a league, then adjust formation, coverage and the starting lineup. Pass into space, aim a shot and switch defenders as possession changes; field conditions affect the ball, while aggressive pushing can bring the referee into the contest if fouls are enabled.
