90 Minutes European Prime Goal - SNES

Here's an cool oldie from Namco we lately came in touch with. Gameplay looks pretty nice but we only have 14 European national teams in this one. Again there will have to be qualifications so we seperate 6 best teams and the other 8 will play in two 4 teams mini turnaments, two best out of 8 will join 6 pre-selected and form the final 8 of the tournament. There is no licence so all players are fictional, we will count the goals just to know who scored most, but this cup will not affect the grand scoring database where we are gathering only real existing players. So see you soon with the first results and highlights from qualifications.

"Ice Cold Iceland" - Acuta Soccer Cup Qualifications

"Ice Cold Iceland" - Eliminations Summary

There were few good games in the eliminations. Those teams will not have easy life in the next round as some top rivals are waiting for them but still, some of them shown potential. Take Iceland for example who crushed China in away game thanks to Ingolfsson hat-trick. In the next round they will face Bulgaria and maybe they suprise us again. Another solid performance came from Colombia who given no chance to Ivory Coast. 3 goals by Gomez made the difference and all of them looked pretty easy. Colombia now will play Argentina, so this time there will be no easy goals. One of the biggest suprises came from the African teams. Impresive wins by Egipt, Marocco, Ghana and Zambia made few squads from old continent look like amatours. Last but not least Czech Republic. It was not an easy decision to put them in the qualifications and they show that maybe not a good one too. Easy win against Urugway proven they are for real about this.

This game was relesed in 1995 by Gremlin. We played it on Playstation version.

In this one there are 44 national teams to play. Not quite the knockout number so here's what we did. We took 20 best of those 44. Rest 24 were playing in the first knock out round. 12 winners gone to the 2 round. There 12 strongest teams (Germany, Brazil etc.) of 20 selected were waiting for the winners from the first round. 8 other teams (Belgium, Scotland etc.) played each other, this has given us 32 teams in the 2 round, 16 in the 3 and so on.

FIFA 2003 - Regional Cup Qualif. - BRAZIL

OMG it's so weird in Brazil as we got 15 teams! How the hell should we devide them, here's an idea. First we take 2 theoreticly worst teams and they play 2 leg round against eachother. We lose 1 team, 14 stays. In next round we take 8 posibly worst teams of those 14 and draw a 2 leg round. So another 4 teams are out we have 10 teams left. From this point we make it as we did in Austria so, we take 8 of them and play tournament and 2 strongest in the league play eachother for a place in a final where they meet winner 1 of those 8 teams. Oh Brazil why 15 teams?! Let's do this.

FIFA 2003 - Regional Club Qual. - Belgium

In Belgium we got 18 teams in the league so here is what we gonna do. 16 teams will compete in two 8 tournaments and each of them will give us one winner. So we got 2 finalists. But what about 2 other teams. This teams will be Anderlecht and Club Brugge considered to be the strongest in the league (by game stats). This 2 teams will join those two turnament's winners and a final tournament will contain 4 teams. Complicated? Maybe a bit, but seems fair.

Fifa 2003 - Regional Club Qual. AUSTRIA

10 playable clubs in Austrian League so we devide them into 2 groups. 2 best teams in the league Austria Vien and Sturm Graz will play each other and the rest competes in a 8 team knockout. Therefore we will get 2 team that will play in a final. Here are the scores and video highlights from Austria.

In Fifa 2003 there are no official competitions like Champions League, UEFA Cup etc. So we will play a big turnement involving every team in the competition :)

There will be qualifications in every country and then all the local winners will play in the big final tournament. Internetional teams will play in a seperate competition.

Qualification will be played in a system of 8 team cups or less. For example if there are 16 playabe teams in country, there will be two 8 team cups and winners will play in the final game. If there are 12 teams, there will be cup with 8 and another one with 4 teams, winners will play in a final etc.

There are 14 leagues and I wan't 16 teams in final tournament so in the "Rest of the World" section 3 teams will go to the FINALS.

If we still be able to look at this game after all that maybe, just maybe we will play the "European Champions Cup" or "Club Championship" or "EFA Cup" but no promises.
