16-Bit Soccer

With the 2026 World Cup in full swing, I've scanned some reviews of Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo soccer games. Most of the reviews are from GamePro's August 1994 issue's The Sports Page column that features a "Soccer Showdown." Also from GamePro (February 1990) is a ProView of the Genesis' World Championship Soccer and Electronic Gaming Monthly's (November 1993) review of Electronic Arts' first FIFA game on the Genesis. I'd consider doing a gameplay video if I had a soccer game on a fully functional platform, but I don't. While I've enjoyed playing various video games of the sport, I only own two retro soccer games. They are both FIFA International Soccer, one for Game Gear and one on Sega CD, and both of my systems have issues.
