INSTRUCTIONS FOR FOOTRALL MANAGER WORLD CUP EDITION (TYPED IN BY BOBBY ROBSON) The aim is to manage your team through to win the World Cup Fimal. Unlike previous Football Manager games there is no requirement to deal with anything other than team tactics, positioning and indinidual player managment. What makes this gane uniquely brilliant is the fact that you now have total control of each player in terms of instructing him on things like passing forwards, backwards, long kicks, short kicks etc. Another major factor is morale. This subtley affects your teams performance. So what you say to the newspaper press is important. If the reporters believe and support what you say, they will print positive information about your team and it will boost their morale. You can also affect your teams morale by what you say to them before and halfway through a game. HOW THE TEAM GROUPS AND LEAGUES WORK. A The World Cup is split into 2 parts: 1 European 2 South American 3 Oceana/Israel 4 Asia 5 North and Central America/Caribbean 6 Africa Depending on which team you wish to be, you have to play in accordance with the qualifying systems of that region.

THE GAME VIEW THERE ARE TWO GAME VIEWS, BALL ON-VIEW AND SCROLLING VIEW, WHICH YOU CAN CHANGE FROM ONE TO THE OTHER AT ANY TIME DURING THE ACTION SEQUENCE BY USING FIRE,LEFT MOUSE OR RETURN KEY. HINTS AND TIPS 1. Player types. Strikers are better,at scoring goals. Passers choose more intelligent passes. Runners can run faster. Sweeper players are better at sweeping up opponents attacks. The more passing options you allow a player, the more likely he is to pass than run with the ball. (Typis note: So that where I have been going Wrong.) Please read the instructions carefully. I hope you enjoy the game. I believe it is my best to date. Enjoy yourself. Good luck. KEVIN TOMS. The game is controlled by the MOUSE.
