Controls & how to play

Player 1: arrows move · X = A (shoot / slide) · Z = B (neutral: lift; direction: tap pass, hold lob / shoulder tackle) · C = C (long pass / switch) · Enter starts or pauses.

Player 2: WASD move · G = A · F = B · H = C · T starts or pauses. Double-tap a direction to dash. Hold A to charge a normal shot.

Super play: press the listed action buttons together. A+B uses X+Z for player 1 or G+F for player 2. Gamepads use bottom/right/left face buttons for A/B/C. Touch combination buttons are provided below the controller.

Menus: arrows choose, A or Start confirms, B goes back. Select cycles match duration. Choose horizontal/vertical and normal/wide views before a single-player match; two-player matches use horizontal normal.

Beat seven national opponents and the All Stars. Earn a new skill after your third and sixth wins without penalties; Brazil starts with three skills and learns once. Select the defeated team's skill to fill A+C, then A+B+C. Save your continue code to keep your progress and learned skills.

Default match: 90 seconds plus loss time, then golden-goal extra time and penalties if tied. Switching away pauses play.
