Dont think Fever Pitch Soccer for mega drive has been mentioned yet. As you won games against teams around the world you unlocked new players with better skills such as fire shots, ridiculous curlers, the "cheat" who's move was to dive. Simpler times

Has This Is Football being mentioned yet? That was very good IIRC.

Viva Football was alright, more technical I think.

Libero Grande, from what little I remember of it, was a good idea executed poorly.

I think the modern FIFA and Pro Evo games are diminishing returns. Though both were very playable in the early 2000s. The 2004 Pro Evo game [I think] is probably the most addictive one I've ever played.

If I counted up the amount of hours I have spent playing a football game on the many different platforms over the years I would say it would be touching on a year of cumulative game play!

Kind of same as others, started on microprose on c64, then onto the FIFA’s on SNES and then PlayStation, with road to 98 really being The biggest revolution (I was not exposed to ISS until a couple years later). Remember staying in my friends house just after it came out and doing the full qualifying campaign for ireland and playing 2 player all the way until the final.
World Cup 98 then also had the anthems and stuff for first time and loved that too, plus it you could replay all the old World Cup finals, loved that feature. 
FIFA’s were then pretty standard after that but the Pro Evo 2 came along and that was the next revolution in football gaming. For the next 5 or so years it was all Pro Evo, that’s when it started getting competitive with friends. FIFA then came roaring back and it hasn’t really been a contest, even though Fifa still doesn’t give me the enjoyment that Pro Evo did for those few years. It’s so hard too these days online, everyone is sweaty.

I also loved to play in the arcades. Taito Cup finals I use to be so good at. Would love to play that again. Never forgot the day I took and scored my first hyper shot.

Was only thinking, what happened to arcade games. You never see them anymore
The Bowling Alleys used to be full of them and there was an arcade in Dublin Airport
O Connell Street used to be full of them, havent Been in Quirkeys in years

Yeah i was down in kilmuckridge last weekend and surprised to see arcade was closed down (looks like even pre-covid). Also nothing in rosslare. Countdown only has one left whereas there use to be 3. Shame, kids are missing out. 
Even Bray, the current indoor amusement place is nothing compared to the old one (where you also had bumper cars).

Most of the places like quirkeys or the place in the square they really focus on the gambling ones or ones where you win tokens towards shirty prizes. You don't see really games.

Super Sidekicks was the one in most of the places. Just googled and it seems they are all available on Playstation store. Think I might get myself super sidekicks 2 and go back in time.

Sounds like RedCard.
