is very good.The other rock bands takes their roll also.The songs are too
good that we may spend time listening to them other than playing.

                           Game Functions.

Now lets come to the game without wasting any more time.First, lets see
about the game functions and lets look through the stats.

Gameplay : It is a little outta shape.(you should know what i mean).
so i have to give it 3.5/5(not too good,not too bad)

Graphics : Graphics are cool.When you do a very rough tackle a movie comes
in which you will get a card.See how the players move like in real life.
So, i can give it a 4.5/5

Music    : Music is AWESOME.The songs like 'Its only us' is excellent.
So, it is 5/5

Commentatory : Commentatory is like ....y'know...weak.I cant say it is very 
good,Because it is repetetive.At first it will seem good but after a few 
weeks of playing, it will be boring.So it is like a 3/5

Overall:is a 7.5/10

                    8) The Different Kinds Of Difficulty
                                   Levels.
There are Three difficulty levels in the game.They are:
a)Amateur.
b)Professional.
c)World Class.
So,Lets look at each in detail.

a)Amateur
This level is for the beginers.The scoring trick is soooo easy.An Expert can
shoot about 20 goals in about 10 mins.(I do that).This level is like a training 
Ground.The tips for shooting in this level are:
 * When you start the match and you are taking the centre,run with the ball
down to the enemies defense area.
 * Run and dribble the ball very fast,otherwise the ball will go out of
possession.
 * Even you can run towards the corner area and lob the ball into the box
and do a bicycle shot into the net.
 * You can even run towards the goal keeper and hurdle and tap the ball
in to the net.This picture might make it clear.
   _ _  net    goallie                   player with the ball "YOU".
  /  | /    O /                    O   /
 /   |/    /|\         <--------  /|\ /
|    |      |  ---------->         |    
|____|_    / \                   0/ \
   
                       
   _ _                          /The way you will go
  /  |      O                  /
 /   |     /|\   <------<-----\   
|    |      |   /      /       \ 
|__0-|-----/ \ / \\___O/ -----> <--------to hurdle press L1(game controls)
           /          \
          /            \Goallie trying to steal the ball by sliding.
       "YOU"
            
 * Another trick is that when you near the goalkeeper alone without any
opponent near you ,the goallie will charge towards you.When that happens
quickly change your track in which you are running,this is an easy method 
to score.
         
Professional

This is the place of the game which starts to be tough.It will be a little
hard to move away from the opponents,so take care so that you wont lose
the ball.If you lose the ball,then it will take some time for gettimg it
back.You should not use any kind of aggressive tackle,so that you wont
get a card.Tips same as that of amateur but dont try to be fast.You can
be fast but slow down near the penalty box.But dont slow down that much 
that the opponents could reach you .You will push him away but that wont 
help much,so be fast enough.And to deal with the goallie,dont shoot from 
far away 'cause the goallie can catch it very easily.And dont come too 
close too 'cause the goallie can come sliding too fast that you can not
use the trick showed in the amateur section.If you are lucky,you can 
score.

World Class

This is the toughest level of all.If you lose the ball and dont try to
get it back ,then it is a sure goal.And if you try to use aggressive
tackle then,Out comes the card,in goes the player.In this stage you should 
be very fast(very very fast) so that the opponents cant reach you(which
never will happen).But in penalties the goallies are not so hard.But dont
think of that too much,'cause you will never get the chances to shoot
penalties.I have never scored in this level,because the opponents are too
strong.No tips in this stage because you know the cause.So readers help needed
If any person helps me in figuring it out then I will put his name in
the special thanks section.
