The FFG Football League

Some dull site trivia for you: the early incarnations of FFG didn’t have a dedicated sport section.

Review: FIFA 2000

Hello there. We’re going back to the 90s for some football action today, with a review of FIFA 2000.

Vault of Regret: Sensible Soccer

Les grandes équipes…the champions

Hi there. Our ongoing mission to rake through the bins of retro football gaming history continues tonight with a look at a Champions League tie-in from Krisalis.

No-one can move, move, move, like the Red Tribe do

Hello. It’s a return to retro football action with today’s review, of Manchester United: The Double. Warning: contains the embittered ramblings of a Leeds United fan.

Great feet for a big lad

Hi there. We’re at the newer end of what’s permissible on this site today, with a review of the retro-flavoured indie football game from 2011, New Star Soccer 5.
