What's the best football/soccer game?

[Rastanfarian]

After so much talk about "football" recently, I am looking for a good "soccer" game to buy. The U.S. only had Great/World Soccer released here. So I'm trusting you guys to point me in the right direction. What would you recommend and why?
Haven't really played a soocer game since my playstation days of the late 90's. I had Olympic Soccer which I know was not great but my friends and I loved it and played for hours on end. Later on I picked up FIFA 98 and enjoyed that as well. A little help from you Euro football boys would be appreciated!

For the sms it has to be Super Kick Off. Me and a mate played this to death back in the day and I still play it to this day. The graphics are basic but the gameplay & tunes are addictive & catchy. I would go as far as to say it's probably the 3rd best retro football game of all time on any system (Sensible soccer for the Amiga and Microprose Soccer on the Commodore 64 being numbers 1 & 2 respectively)

I think the best FOOTBALL game for SMS is Tecmo World Cup '93.

I really like the point of view, it has great music and nice graphics.
I definitely recommend it!

What game is this? Looks like Italy scoring on Brazil...perhaps a repeat of World Cup 82 match?

It's FIFA

The Best are Super Kick Off and Sensible Soccer.

This is FIFA International Soccer by Tec-Toy, Brazil exclusive.

It's a GG conversion, so graphics aren't the best and I think it has quite boring gameplay.

Tecmo World Cup '93 by long a mile. I'd go as far to say as it's best the 8-bit football title ever.

I only have experience of Super Kick Off. Lots of nice features and decent enough gameplay, but suffers from the common sports game problem of 1-2 certain (or at least clearly easiest) ways to score.

football/soccer games need to be fun when played against another person, talk of ai etc is all but irrelevant as it is simply there for practicing how to kick your friend's backside across the room and hand it back to him on a plate.

world soccer is pretty good, tecmo world cup 93 is decent as well, I like sensible soccer but on the ms it is nowhere near as good as the 16bit machines and a lot more expensive

Man I'd have to try them out again but I seem to recall really enjoying Super Kick Off over the others.

[Rastanfarian]

I appreciate the responses so far guys, keep them coming. I want to see a clear favorite before I purchase any of them. A poll has been added, so feel free to vote for which ONE you think is best. If I had to vote just on screen shots I would go with panama's cartmodd of FIFA World Cup Brasil - because it has B BIES!

Yes I know, I am a typical male chauvinistic pig!

Ah ah probably the same, but unfortunately the game is not really good^^

On Game Gear (and Master System since 2 weeks ) I like J.League Soccer - Dream Eleven and Kick & Rush.

Actually Kick & Rush can be an interesting game to hack for the next World Cup.

Totally agree. The genesis version is amazing!!
