England are rapidly heading for success
Hi there. Tonight we’re back to the early 90s for some long-forgotten football action, with International Soccer Challenge.
It’s in the game
I like football games, possibly more than I actually like football. A couple of matches in the evening after work during the week is one of life’s simple pleasures. But recently I’ve found it difficult to find a footy game I can get on with. Not since PES 2008 (which. depending on your point of […]
Good evening everyone, I AM Terry Butcher
It’s the Euros! And in an attempt to build excitement for the forthcoming action, the BBC has compiled a series of video highlights of memorable moments from previous tournaments.

I would love it if we beat them

Thanks to the world of gaming, though, you can actually be a football manager in your spare time, if you so desire. Here’s the 2006 […]
It’s only us
