Soccer is the world’s most popular sport, and whenever one thinks of its video game renditions, one franchise stands head and shoulders above the rest in terms of public awareness.

You may be too young to fall in love and you may be walking the wild side, but Sega-16 will always be your home sweet home. There, did we toss in enough Motley Crüe references for ya? No? The feel free to let out a primal scream.
