World Cup Italia '90 (Master System)

>>7761886
Tried again to win the cup with China, my record was getting to the QF, this time we've reached the SF, but got knocked out by the hosts Italy after being 1-0 up by halftime, that 1-2 hurt badly, hopefully next time we'll take this cup home.

On a different note, it's pretty nice how even in a simple game like this it's possible to feel a huge difference between the team, when it came to me that the most reliable way of scoring was passing sideways in front of the goal, winning with Brazil was almost a non issue until the last couple of matches. With a weak team, in China's case the worst team in the whole game, it's so hard to even get the ball up front and to not concede every match.

Another thing that's charming is that when you play as a strong team you can try to keep the ball and pass it around more, you'll usually manage to not get tackled without much trouble, where as a weak team keeping the ball is ridiculously hard, your best method of getting forward is quick counters using the longer pass, that's similar to real life desu, stronger teams usually have more possession and control, while the weaker teams try to get them on the counter, again, a simple game, but very rich too, i'm enjoying this.
