FIFA INTERNATIONAL SOCCER PLAYING TIPS By Martin Keen


If you're still struggling to win the World Cup then try using these
tips, but remember for some reason they only work when shooting from 
left to right:

DODGY KEEPER

Make the oppositions goalie look a right idiot by adding a bit of
unexpected after-touch to your shot. This is put on automatically
if you shoot from a certain area. Trying running down the near side
of the pitch in a straight line and shooting just before your player
reaches the penalty area. After a few attempts you will soon get the
hang of shooting from this certain angle and watch as the ball curls
just past the keeper.


THE "IAIN DOWIE" CORNER

When taking corners from the near right hand side of the pitch aim 
the moving square as far right as possible, then move it slightly 
upwards towards goal. This should send the corner so high into the 
air you'll swear it must have been an Iain Dowie shot. The fortunate 
thing is, unlike a goal attempt from Dowie the ball will not sail 
out of the stadium but will hit the top of the screen and fall down 
directly level with the goal line. Simply position a player near the 
goal and let him head it in. Gooaaalll!


OR... THE SHORT CORNER

Against weaker opposition the most effective corner is the short one.
Again this only works when the corner is from the near right side.  
Place the ball to land just short of the near post. While the ball is
in the air get a player to leg it over, control the ball, then shoot
into the empty net as the keeper is left standing.


Unfortunately all my teams are one-half-wonders. They hardly EVER 
score when shooting from right to left unless the opposition is
as bad as someone like Wales (and that's pretty bad!). Anyone
got any tips for shots in that direction?
