Sports: soccer

Football (or soccer) is one of the most successfully simulated sports in video games on every platform, both consoles and PCs, since the dawn of 8-bit video gaming. There's been a number of soccer games of various genres: simulations (the FIFA series), arcade/action games (Kick Off, Sensible Soccer), team management simulations (Championship Manager, Premier Manager), etc. Some of them became successful franchises, others are no longer even remembered.
