Viva Football (known as Viva Soccer in North America, 20 Reiki Striker Retsuden in Japan and Absolute Football in France) is a football game released for the PS1 and PC in 1998, Dreamcast version is cancelled. It was developed by Crimson Studio and published by Virgin Interactive. I played PS1 version on PC with DuckStation emulator.

First of all, it's a great concept to have World Cup history as a game. It's really impressive that game covers 11 World Cups, 1958 to 1998. Including qualifiers! That means a total of 1035 teams and over 16,000 real life players. However I see that they have wrong kit numbers like Maradona wears 8 for some reason I can't understand.

As for what it matters, gameplay sucks. Game runs like a slideshow at constant 20 FPS and gets worse in replays. Controls are so bad, it's painful to play.
