Glen Hoddle's Soccer

The crowd were silent as Spurs and England star Glen Hoddle took the field but soon they were singing their heads off. Not the usual chant of 1-0, 1-0 but more likely 28-0!

I understand that I should lose the first few games of a football game, otherwise it would be too easy but 28-0!

I would also prefer it if the opposing side didn't take all the kick offs, get possession from all the throw-ins and possess teleport ability!

The graphics are poor (the screen goes blank when you eventually score a goal!) and the animation of the players is more a simulation of flamingoes than soccer athletes.

All things considered, it's the game to get the people back on the terraces... in fact anywhere except in front of a screen!
