How to Play World Championship Soccer
Quick start
Choose a national team and attack with quick passes before shooting from a clear angle. Keep defenders between the ball and goal, switch players early, and tackle from the side to avoid being beaten. Tournament progress rewards steady possession more than constant long shots.
Controls
D-pad: move the active player and aim. B: pass or switch defender. C: shoot or slide tackle. A: lob, cross, or secondary action depending on ball position. Start: pause. Hold a direction while passing or shooting to choose the target and use the radar to track off-screen players.
