Eat the Whistle

Eat the Whistle is a soccer game originally released to tie in with the
1998 World Cup, held in and won by France. The full tournament is included,
but custom leagues can also be created. The game’s perspective is from the top
with a slight angle, but scrolling sideways rather than top-bottom.

The game includes variable weather and light conditions, variable referee
strictness, and different match lengths. As well as realistic soccer, there is
a mode compared by the packaging to Speedball 2, with no fouls and randomly
appearing power-ups.
