SpeedPlay World Soccer 3

SpeedPlay World Soccer 3 drops you straight into tournament play, where national teams face off for the world title. Matches use classic football rules with two long halves, so every decision affects the score over real match time. You watch the 3D soccer field from a high, top-down camera, similar to viewing from a stadium seat. This angle keeps the whole pitch in view, so you always see your forwards, defenders, and open space for a pass or shot.

How to play?

Control everything in this football game with just your mouse. Move the cursor in the direction you want your active player to run, and the game follows that path. Press the left mouse button to send a pass to a teammate or fire a shot at the goal, depending on your player's position. Time tackles by clicking when an opponent has the ball, so you cleanly win possession and turn defense into a counterattack. I learned quickly that short, simple passes keep the ball safer than long, risky crosses.

Pick a country for your team at the start and run through a series of world soccer matches, one against each rival nation. Every game in this soccer simulator is split into two 45-minute halves, just like real-world football rules. The pace stays high, since players accelerate fast and change direction quickly when you drag the mouse. Score at least one goal to win the match, but pushing for extra goals is useful if you want clear, confident victories.

Track the ball constantly, because losing it near your box usually leads to quick shots on your net. Hold possession, look for open teammates, and shoot when you have a clear angle. Jump into SpeedPlay World Soccer 3, test different team choices, and see how far your passing and shooting can carry you through a full world soccer run.
