10 Strangest Football Video Games Of All Time
Ойындар
Football fever is gripping the world once again, and the beautiful game is impassioning sports fans all over the world. Even we here at TripleJump have been known to sit in front of the TV during international games, yelling such phrases as “why didn't you pass it?” and “that was never a penalty” as if our impotent wailing could affect a football match taking place on the other side of the world. This time, however, we thought we'd get even more involved, and bring you a footie-themed list to keep you entertained during those empty hours between matches. You're very welcome. As the most popular sport in the world, football has been well-represented on consoles and computers over the years. From the early days of Sensible Soccer and FIFA, to the present day of … well, just FIFA really, let's be honest, kids and adults alike have spent countless hours in front of their TV screens, coaxing digital men to kick digital balls into digital goals. Here are the 10 Strangest Football Video Games.

Another interesting entry, though it might have to be a wildcard entry, would be FIFA 2009 (I think...) specifically for the Wii having a mode where you can play with professional footballers' Mii characters. Seeing Miis slide tackling and tumbling around the pitch was hilarious. Also for consideration: Backyard Soccer. Soccer game with kids (including one in a wheelchair) and kid versions of famous MLS players at the time. (Made for kids, obviously, but still fun) Had full seasons to play through, if I remember right.
I had Urban Freestyle Soccer on GameCube and it was a little one dimensional but each team had an awesome themed home pitch, you could king hit players off the ball, and do some pretty wild skill moves. Super underrated game
I got Sega Soccer Slam for christmas when my parents couldn't find Star Wars Battle Front 2, I loved it, played it for months
SEGA Soccer Slam was an incredible hidden gem, picked it up from a local corner shop and played it more than any edition of FIFA.
What an odd picture of Gianfranco Zola you picked. Not from his playing days, but a charity gig from 2018. Still, he was the man.
First footie game I ever played was World Cup Italia 90 for the Mega Drive, I remember struggling to master it but tbf I was only 5 or 6 at the time and I was also struggling to master tying my shoes so not sure how difficult it actually was 😂
Ben narrating a SPORTS TIME list, you love to see it.
Just a question: isnt Captain Tsubasa a known anime? Where i live (also in Europe), Captain Tsubasa was also very popular anime.

Tecmo probably didn't bother, If the game was handled by Bandai, I think they would keep the licensing at least for Europe.
I love the inazuma eleven series. I wish you would stream it, but since it's a ds game and takes quite some time to finish it will probably never happen.
I was expecting “Kunio-kun's Nekketsu Soccer League” among the titles too. Unfortunately you haven’t mentioned it. In my opinion this by far beats most of these games in many terms. A strangely fun game. I highly recommend trying it
As soon as I saw the title of this video, my first thought was "Here we go, sports time!"
You probably never heard of it but Pet Soccer was a strange and good game too. It was released on 2002.
I was concerned you guys would not mention Mega Man Soccer. I didn't have an SNES growing up here in Brazil but I had many friends who did and Mega Man Soccer was a really popular conversation topic in school back then.
i love everything with Gianfranco Zola in it, good job

Street kamara's street soccer was absolute insane football videogame! The power shot was incredible and very no sense!
I was disappointed not hearing 'OH YEAH HERE WE GO SPORTS TIME!!'
Mega Man Soccer brings back some horrible memories. Back in the days of video game rentals, I rented it and then we got a blizzard and we got snowed it for a week. I had nothing else to play but Mega Man Soccer.
OH YEAH, HERE WE GO, SPORTS TIME.
1:30 That is not Vinnie Jones, nor Ryan Giggs!
Best channel ever!
Chris Kamara left Sky Sports after 30 years because of speech apraxia😢
Love seeing games I reviewed way back when. Inazuma 11 was a fun little one... I didn't particularly LOVE it by any means, but it was a nice distraction from standard RPGs and standard sports titles.
Liberó Grande and Three Lions deserved to make this list
There was a PS1 football game that teams had "specials". China could literally build a wall, stopping every attack. It was really fun
The Redcard cover art features neither Vinnie Jones or Ryan Giggs - even I, a non-footballer can see that it's quite clearly neither of them. 😛 It does however look like a recreation of a famous Vinnie Jones incident that did occur.

@@facundopetrolo1999 hahaha, glad someone recognize those game, and btw the most OP teams were Germany and Saudi Arabia, both of them have their unique skill especially the goalkeeper, whatever super shot the opponent takes the GK will catch it easily hahahaha
I still have fond memories of soccer brawl. It looked similar to mega man soccer but the cyborg characters were bigger and each possessed a unique shot and players could be knocked down by a ball of fire.
The inazuna eleven franchise deserves more love in English speaking territories, such a great series of RPGs
i had that game, techmo football but it was the other football which makes me wonder how they called that other football game
WIld Cup Soccer (Amiga) would've been a good addition as well.
Oh yes!! Sports time!!!!
If this video doesn't prove this channel is God-tier, nothing will. I mean who else made a list like this?
What about Fever Pitch and Adidas Predator?? list needs redoing!!
Sega Soccer Slam is a very good game to be honest especially if you play it against friends

Yeah man me and my pals had great sessions with it
Bit dissapointed that nintendo world cup for the nes was not on the list. You could play on gras, concreat ,ice or gravel and every surface had a diffrent impact on the players. If you tackeld a player enough times he would be put out until a goal was scored. Aside from that every team had a their own super shot exept from the us were almost every player had their own version. Still have my copy and play with friends from time to time...
you gotta mention super shot soccer on ps1,every country got their own superpower,it’s really² fun
Clicked on this thinking it was FOOTBALL but turns out it's just Soccer.
I’m old enough to remember that in FIFA 2000 (yes, from the EA FIFA series) you could turn on alien abduction of players or lighting strikes.
Eyez rememba dat game,it wuz so raycist
Nintendo World Cup for the NES would be my choice.

0:19 What a terrible view. It reminds me of that tragedy.
Uh oh sports timeeee
I was waiting for soccer shootout on Nintendo it was a good game my brother and me use to play it
Is that Ryan Giggs? Surely not..
Really thought Fever Pitch Soccer would be on this list.
Guest appearance by Cultaholic and H&G's own football expert Ross Tweddell!?
Where is supershot soccer? You missed that game
Oh, so that's who that "anime style" character is in the extended Nike World Cup commercial with "Weird Science" in the background that's been playing on tv lately?
I’m sure that’s not Vinnie Jones or Ryan Giggs on the front cover of Red Card?
Had a demo on Amiga called unsensible soccer where the teams were fruit and the ball was a bomb
Sadge that there is no Libero Grande.
iver see soccer video games that can unleash strange skills , but i forget the title , anyone know ?
A shame there's never been a Galactik Football Video Game.
Tsubasa just best. That's why it's still here. But at least 1 SNES game is bad that's why they returnd to roots in ps2 and 2020 games.
Surprised not to see Kunyo Kun on the list.
Great list but you left out "Playchapas", a Spanish game for PSP about... bottle caps football
Let's look at some !!!
Sports time!
Still waiting for Wild Cup Soccer to appear...
You forgot Libero Grande!
Worthy shout, All Star Soccer for thr Ps1 with Allistair McGowans stupid impression commentary.
So Redcard was the euro version of Blitz ?
I'm guessing Mario Strikers was too obvious a pick?
Red card was amazing
Seeing as you chaps used the English equivalent if soccer for football, how about a video of strangest Americian Football Games? And if you decide on such a topic, Mutant League Football for the Sega Genesis must be up there, along with NFL Street and Blitz. Thanks for the work and time put into the channel to the whole crew. Best of days to you.

You forgot super shoot soccer ps1 😭🤣
My couple of nuggets regarding footy games would be 1) There is/was a Japanese SNES (yes.. Super Famicom. whatever..) game that the mists of time have wiped the name of the game from my memory. Which had a bizarre English voiced match commentary. Who uttered the classic line at the end of the match. "TIMES OOP!" Can anyone help me with the name? I didn't imagine it I swear! 2) On the original International Superstar Soccer (for the Super Famicom in my case 'Perfect Eleven.') There was a way to almost guarantee a player being sent off. iirc it involved walloping the opposing goalie when he was taking a goal kick? Something like that. Well... I got to thinking, "how many players from my team could I get sent off in a match?" Took me a few practice runs, but I subsequently discovered the answer is in fact 10. Wanna know why? Because once your 10th blokey gets sent off, the other team will inevitably score. And the game promptly locks up because you don't have 2 players left to take the resulting kick off. Obviously the game creators didn't anticipate anyone being stupid enough to see what would happen in such a case.

In the real world, a match is abandoned if a team gets 5 players sent off. You'd think they'd have factored that in. I remember that game too, the original iss, there was also a guaranteed way to beat any man, you'd run at them, then do the step over flick the ball trick where it goes up the player's back and over their head. The opposition player would always try to head the ball in the middle of this trick, but could never intercept it, so you end up with the ball back at your feet and the guy is 2 metres behind you, giving you a free run past him. Worked every time, and made the game ridiculously easy. I could win games 20-0 on the hardest level, and I'm not that brilliant at video games.
Red card is still the best ever......that dolphin team was well hard
Where was Adidas Power Soccer? It was where Red Card got the special moves from
I would love a WWE themed football game.
The only time England will lift the World Cup trophy is in the intro to this video
Man looks a discount Kevin Magnussen
Why no mention of our beloved King P.E.S.???
Saw thumbnails i thought America football
Red Card was good Fun .winning matches because you have 6 mote players due to Injuries was fun
Can we bring Aidrianooo back from his to play these?
Not Jones or giggs on the cover of red card ha
That doesn't look like Vinnie Jones and Ryan Giggs
Oi where is Kenny Dalish’s football for the c64 when you can play a normal game of football or enter a cheat and play as chickens instead
Red Card was a Great Game. Most of Midway Action Sports Games were Great. Too Bad they don't make any.
