This Is Football

New series on Amazon Prime. Downloading it now so I can watch it on the flight home. There’s a bit about Messi in it. Looks great.

 

Watched them all. Episode 6, all about Messi, is the best. Great watch.

 

I thought this was going to be a relaunch of the old game franchise that started out on PS1. Show looks good, added to the list.

 

So did I, those were the days two footed tackles and diving. What a game.

 

I was trying to remember what the sorta controversial thing they did and it was the diving. There was a cool feature where you could actually choose to do a hook type tackle from the side that I think should be in the modern games.

 

You could intentionally dive on World Cup 98, for Nintendo 64, as well.

Never knew that. I am sure they added it to a PRo EVO one year too now that you say this.

 

I bought TIF 2005 just last week for 50 cent, then I remembered that I can't find any of the cables for my PS2.

 

I remember there's some challenge type match in the game where it's like a European XI vs a South American XI but it's super hard because the South American players start diving when they get into the box and more often than not actually win the penalty.
