How to Play
World League Soccer Rules
World League Soccer simulates the rules of a real soccer game with a standard field, 24 world class teams, 24 referees, and penalties.
The Field
The World League Soccer field is a rectangle that is about the length and width of a regulation field (130 by 100 yards). The boundaries, halfway line, center circle, goal area, penalty area, corners, sidelines, and touch lines are all clearly marked onscreen.
Each kickoff begins on the center circle. If a player kicks the ball over either sideline, the other team gets an automatic throw-in. If a player kicks the ball over his own touch line (end), the other team gets a corner kick. If a player kicks the ball over the opponents' end line, the opponents' goalie gets a goal kick.
A goal box is centered at each end of the field. The goal and penalty areas are marked as two increasingly larger rectangles around the goal box. Within these areas, the goalie may pick up and pass or kick the ball. If the defense commits a foul in its own penalty area, the offense gets a penalty kick. A goal is scored when the ball is kicked over the goal line, between the goal posts.
Just a portion of the ball needs to cross the plane of the goal line in order for you to be credited with a goal. Because you need to get past the goalie to achieve this, you are better off trying to kick it completely past him from a distance.
There is an audible sound of the ball hitting the netting when you score a goal. Be sure to keep your kicks low to the ground. If not, what may look like a good shot will sail over the top of the goal, or bounce off the goal post and be deflected over, triggering a "boing" sound. You can also watch the scaling of the ball; if the ball gets too large as it heads for the goal, it is going higher and will likely clear the goal altogether.

The Players
A soccer match is played by two teams with up to eleven players, one of whom is the goalkeeper (or goalie). You can set up the remaining ten players in these strategic patterns:
•
4-2-4: Four defenders, two midfielders, and four forwards.
•
4-3-3: Four defenders, three midfielders, and three forwards.
•
4-4-2: Four defenders, four midfielders, and two forwards.
•
5-3-2: Five defenders, three midfielders, and two forwards.
The first two formations emphasize offense and the last two defense. You may select your strategic pattern and make up to two player substitutions, but only before the game.
The Kickoff
Kickoffs occur at the beginning of the game, after each goal, and after half time. During the kickoff, the center forward must pass the ball to his right or left forward, before kicking the ball a second time. Players on each team then compete for control of the ball, passing to their own team, blocking the other team, and trying to intercept the ball in their drive toward the goal.
The Clock
During play, the clock does not stop until it runs out. Any injury time from penalties is added to the game at the end of the match. During the playoffs, a draw (tie) at the end of the game results in sudden death overtime—the first side to score wins.
You can choose from four game times in World League Soccer: 6, 10, 20, or 40 minutes.
The Referees and Penalties
World League Soccer has 24 referees, and you will never see the referee or know who he is. Some are strict, some play favorites, and others let things slide. The referee's job is to watch out for fouls and to throw yellow and red cards.
A foul is doing any of the following to an opponent:
•
Kicking or attempting to kick.
•
Tripping.
•
Charging in a violent or dangerous manner.
•
Charging from behind (unless he is obstructing).
•
Holding.
•
Pushing.
•
Handling the ball (unless it's the goalie in his own penalty area).
If a player commits a foul, the other team gets a penalty kick (free kick) from the spot where the foul occurred. If a defending player commits a foul within his team's penalty area, the offense gets a penalty kick from that half of the goal area where the foul occurred.
If a player commits a serious foul, he will get a yellow card warning him that a red card may be next. If a player gets a red card, he may be out for the rest of the game or for the half, depending on the referee. Because there are no substitutions for carded players, that team must play down one player for as long as that player remains out.

Enemies & Characters
Italy
Great passing and ball control make them tough to beat.
Austria
Great speed and balance overall and a good scoring offense.
Czechoslovakia
Well balanced and highly skilled team with keen passers. If they can get the ball to the midfielder, they'll score a hit.
United States
Not the most skilled team overall, but a strong defense and a great forward keep the U.S. in contention.
Brazil
Powerful team with outstanding passing game.
Sweden
Have a stable defense, but lack power, so they rely on passing.
Scotland
Reputation is they play with outdated strategies. A more liberal approach would help their play.
Costa Rica
Tremendous speed; however, they rarely score. A more rounded approach would help here.
Belgium
Patient team, with no one player that stands out. Short passes are effective for them, though.
Spain
Play as passionately as a bullfighter. They do not have great teamwork, but passing should be stressed more.
Uruguay
Excellent balance and fantastic pass work.
France
Good ball control and a modern playing style. They do not play well in wet conditions, but they have good balance.
Argentina
Never miss an opportunity to shoot. They are a fast moving, aggressive and powerful team that handily exploits a team's weaknesses.
Russia
Stress teamwork and have no players who stand out.
Rumania
Poor offense and lack power overall.
Cameroon
With a tight defense, this is a team to watch out for.
Germany
Phenomenal passing and tremendous speed.
Yugoslavia
Play with speed and power. Their sharp passes and great ball control let them split defenses and score.
Colombia
Phenomenal passing and tremendous speed.
Japan
The newest team to the World League, so they don't have much power or speed. To overcome these shortfalls, master passing skills.
England
Not extravagant, but their mental strength, along with great speed, are their strong points.
Holland
Great combination of speed, agility and pass work. They're known for racking up goals.
Ireland
Solid defense, great balance, and an awesome midfielder makes them quite powerful.
Egypt
A quick forward, but little power. They win when they pass effectively.
