halves. If the score is still tied at the end of extra time, the
match is a draw.

rounds are played where each team has the opportunity to take a
penalty kick. The team with the most goals after five rounds is
deemed the winner. If the score is still tied after five rounds, the
shootout changes to sudden-death format where the game is
decided on a round-by-round basis until a victor emerges.
Golden Goal – Adds up to thirty minutes of extra-time divided
into two halves. If a team scores, the match is over. If the score
is still tied at the end of extra time, the match is a draw.

During a game, the referee keeps track of time lost due to play
stoppages, delay tactics, or injuries. The referee adds this time to
the end of each half as stoppage or injury time.
You can also combine different extra play options to decide your
match. For example, Golden Goal followed by penalty kicks is
often used during knockout tournaments.

Competitions
An international competition brings together teams from around
the world for a series of matches to determine a champion.
International Football 2000 lets you play in any one of the
following competitions:
INTERNATIONAL CUP
The International Cup is a competition involving thirty-two
teams from around the world. Initially, teams are randomly
distributed into eight groups of four teams. The competition is
divided into two phases: round-robin play and single game
knockout. During the round-robin portion, each team plays once
against every team in their group. Three points are awarded for a
win and one point for a draw.
At the end of round-robin play, the top two teams by virtue of
point totals advance to the second round of competition.
In the case of ties, the team with the highest positive goal
differential moves on. If the goal differential is the same, the team
International Football 2000 Player’s Guide • page 11
with most goals scored moves on. If the teams are still tied, the
team that has allowed the fewest goals is the higher-ranked team.
During the second and subsequent rounds, the competition
proceeds in a knockout format whereby only the winner of a
match advances to the next round.
Play continues until two teams remain. The winner of the last
game is crowned International Cup Champions.
EUROPEAN QUALIFIERS
The European Qualifiers competition pits the countries of Europe
against one another to determine sixteen teams that will play in
the European Finals. The Netherlands and Belgium automatically
qualify for the finals. To determine the fourteen other finalists,
forty-nine teams across Europe are grouped into nine preset
divisions. A round-robin tournament follows until each team has
played every team in its division twice – once at home and once
away. Three points are awarded for a win and one point for a draw.
At the end of round-robin play, each of the division winners
qualifies for the finals. Another spot in the finals is reserved for
the best second place team across all divisions. This is determined by looking at each second-place team’s record against the
first-, third-, and fourth-place team. The team with the highest
point total is granted a spot in the finals.
In the case of ties during round-robin play, the team with the
highest positive goal differential moves on. If the goal differential is the same, the team with most goals scored moves on. If
the teams are still tied, the team that has allowed the fewest
goals is the higher-ranked team.
To determine the last four finalists, the eight remaining secondplace teams play a single knockout round with the four winners
advancing to the finals.
International Football 2000 Player’s Guide • page 12
EUROPEAN FINALS
The European Finals is a competition similar to the International
Cup but involves sixteen European countries that have qualified
for the finals. Qualifying teams are first divided into one of four
groups. The competition begins with round-robin play to determine the top two teams in each division.
In the case of ties, the team with the highest positive goal
differential moves on. If the goal differential is the same, the team
with most goals scored moves on. If the teams are still tied, the
team that allows the fewest goals advances to the knockout rounds.
The competition continues in knockout format for subsequent
rounds until only one undefeated team remains: the European
Champion.
KNOCKOUT
Knockout play lets you create your own competition involving
up to sixteen teams of your choice. The winners of each match
go on to play in subsequent rounds until only a single undefeated team remains.
LEAGUE
International Football 2000 supports league competitions that let
you choose the teams and rules used for the league. League
competitions are played in round-robin format whereby each
team plays every other team twice – once at home and once away.
Three points are awarded for a win and one point for a draw.
At the end of round-robin play, the team with the highest point
total is crowned the league champions.
In the case of ties, the team with the highest positive goal
differential is the winner. If the goal differential is the same, the
team with most goals scored is the winner. If the teams are still
tied, the team that allows the fewest goals in the winner.

Passing
TIP: Press Esc at any time to

Crosses and Headers
Many great scoring opportunities come as a result of well-placed
crosses and headers. Improve the accuracy of your crosses and
practise the timing of headers in “the box”.
Free Kicks
Free kicks are an opportunity to generate a scoring chance or to
move the play up field with a perfect pass to a teammate. Practise your accuracy with this set of drills.
Corners
Like crosses, corner kicks are the source of many great scoring
opportunities. Many teams have corner-kick specialists who excel
at making the perfect pass into the goalmouth area. Mastering
this skill greatly improves your chances of generating quality
scoring chances.
International Football 2000 Player’s Guide • page 21
Throw-ins

Tackling – Tap either tackle control when your player is close to
the player with the ball. Slide tackles are more effective than
upright tackles but are more likely to draw a foul. Sliding also
takes your player out of the play for a longer period of time than
an upright tackle. When attempting an upright tackle, try to
position yourself in front of the ball carrier before attempting
the tackle. Slide tackles are also less likely to draw a foul if
attempted from the side or front of the player with the ball.
Fouls and Bookings – The referee can stop play due to a foul
being committed by a player, usually as the result of an unnecessarily rough tackle or challenge. For minor fouls, the referee
stops play and the team that was fouled gains a free kick from
the location where the foul was committed.
For more serious fouls, the offending player may be booked and
given a yellow card. If a player acquires two yellow cards in one
match, the player is ejected from the game and his team must
International Football 2000 Player’s Guide • page 24
play a man short for the rest of the match. For blatant or exceptionally rough tackles, a player may be given a red card and
immediately sent off.
Up to four players may be sent off before a team must concede
the match.
Changing player control – Tap Change Player to manually switch
control to the closest player to the ball carrier. You can also use
Change Player to override a switch when the automatic playerswitching feature is enabled from the Controller Options menu.

Through Balls – A through ball is a pass to a teammate that
allows the player to receive the pass “on-the-fly” in the hopes of
sneaking behind the opposition’s defence. To attempt a through
ball, aim the directional control to move the pass indicator under
the intended recipient, then press and release Through Ball to
kick the ball towards your teammate.
TIP: Tap High Kick to chip the
ball in the direction you aim.
High and Low Kicks – Use low and high kicks to kick the ball
into an area. Use the directional control to aim your kick. Like
shooting, the longer you hold down the control, the more power
is applied to the kick. High kicks are useful when attempting to
make long, pitch-wide passes over the opposing players.
Control Ball – Use Control Ball to maintain possession of the
ball. While in possession, hold Control Ball to slow your player
and bring the ball under close control. This allows you to maintain possession while manoeuvring through traffic, and makes it
more difficult to be tackled.
International Football 2000 Player’s Guide • page 25
Auto-Positioning – Control Ball can also help you gain possession of a loose ball or to intercept a pass by helping you position
your player. When the ball is in the air or being passed to a
player, hold Control Ball to have the computer automatically
move your player in the path of the ball. If you are successful,
your player will trap the ball. You can also use auto-positioning
with Pass, Shoot, and Kick controls.
Skill Moves
Once you master the basic and intermediate controls, try some of
these advanced moves:
Chesting – While the ball is in the air, position your player under
the ball and aim the directional control as the ball reaches the
player. The ball will be chested in the direction you aim.
Modifying Kicks – You can modify the height of a shot, pass, or
through ball by using the High or Low Kick controls as “modifiers.” While holding down Shoot, Pass, or Through Ball, press High
Kick or Low Kick to adjust the height of the kick, then release
both controls. For example, to do a high pass, press Pass, then
High Kick, and release. The ball will be kicked with a higher arc
than a regular pass.
Ball Swerve – When shooting, you can attempt to curve the ball
by aiming the directional control away from the goal while Shoot
is held down. When you release the control, the ball’s trajectory
will curve as it approaches the goal.
One-Touch Passes – To attempt a one-touch pass to another
player, tap Pass just as the ball reaches the passer and aim the
pass using the directional control. If successful, your player will
pass the ball directly to the targeted player without trapping the ball.
Volleys and Headers – You can attempt to volley or head the
ball at the goal by holding down Shoot while the ball is in the air
to auto-position your player. Release Shoot just when your player
receives a pass in the goalmouth area to attempt the volley or
header. If the ball is just above the player’s head when you
release Shoot, a header is performed. If the ball is below eyelevel, a volley is attempted. You can aim your volley or header
just as you would a regular shot by using the directional control.
International Football 2000 Player’s Guide • page 26
TIP: Successfully performing
an advanced move requires a
combination of perfect
timing and positioning. Use
auto-position to help move
your player under the ball
when attempting skill
moves. You can practise your
timing and player positioning using the Training mode.
Bicycle Kicks – Bicycle kicks are accomplished in a manner
similar to a header, but you must turn your player away from the
goal before you release Shoot. If your timing and positioning is
accurate, your player will attempt the bicycle kick.
Set Pieces
Set pieces are plays that occur after play has stopped due to a
ball travelling out-of-bounds or because of a foul.
CORNER AND FREE KICKS
The referee awards a corner kick when a team puts the ball out of
play along its own goal line. A free kick occurs whenever an off-side
call is made or when a player is fouled outside the penalty box.
TO PLAY A CORNER OR FREE KICK TO AN AREA
1. Use the directional control to aim the kick. Use High or Low
Kick to adjust the trajectory of the kick.
2. Press Shoot to kick the ball to the targeted area. Hold Shoot
longer to increase kick power. While Shoot is held down, you
can move the directional control to curve the ball around any
defenders. When you release the control, the ball is kicked.
TO DIRECT A CORNER OR FREE KICK TO A PLAYER
1. Tap Change Player until the desired player is highlighted.
2. Use the directional control to move the player into position.
3. Tap Pass to direct the ball to the selected player.
During a free kick, the defending team can form a line of players
– called a wall – in front of the ball before it is kicked. The size
of the wall is dependent on where the free kick is taken. The
closer the ball is to the goal, the wider the wall. You can set the
position of the wall anywhere on the pitch provided at least
twelve yards of free space separates the wall and the ball.
TO MOVE THE WALL
1. Tap Change Player until a player in the wall is highlighted.
2. Use the directional control to move the wall.
International Football 2000 Player’s Guide • page 27
TIP: You can change the view
of a corner kick, free kick,
or throw-in by tapping the
Select control. This causes
the view to “zoom out”
giving you a wider view of
the pitch.
TIP: To enable penalty
shootouts, choose the Penalties game option before
starting the match.
THROW-INS
A throw-in occurs when the ball goes out of bounds along the
sidelines. Throw-ins are completed the same way as a corner or
free kick, but instead of kicking the ball into play, the player
throws the ball in from the sidelines.
PENALTY KICKS
Penalty kicks occur when a player is fouled in the penalty box
area in front of the goal, or during a shootout. During a penalty
kick, the shooter takes a shot against the goalkeeper from twelve
yards out. During a match, if the goalkeeper stops the shot, the
ball is in play and regular play continues.
TO PLAY A PENALTY KICK
1. Tap Change Player to choose on which side of the ball to stand.
2. Use the directional control to aim your shot at the net. The
shot location can be changed up until the point the ball is
kicked, but the later you change the shot location, the less
power your shot will have.
3. Tap Shoot to kick the ball. Hold Shoot longer to add more
power to your kick. The more power you apply, the less
accurate your shot will be.
GOAL KICKS
Goal kicks occur when a team kicks the ball out of bounds behind
the opposition’s goal line. Playing a goal kick is similar to playing a free kick.
TO PLAY A GOAL KICK TO AN AREA
1. Use the directional control to aim the kick. Use High or Low
Kick to adjust the arc of the kick.
2. Press Shoot to kick the ball to the targeted area. Hold Shoot
longer to increase kick power. While Shoot is held down, you
can move the directional control to curve the ball. When you
release the control, the ball is kicked.
International Football 2000 Player’s Guide • page 28
TO DIRECT A GOAL KICK TO A PLAYER
1. Tap Change Player until the desired player is highlighted.
2. Use the directional control to move the player into position.
3. Tap Pass to direct the ball to the selected player.
Goalie Control
During regular play, the computer controls your team’s goalkeeper, making saves and clearing the ball whenever appropriate.
At times, you will gain control of the keeper and can perform
actions similar to any other player.
When your goalkeeper picks up the ball, you have the option of
throwing or kicking the ball to a player, or punting the ball up
the field.
To throw the ball, use the same controls as a throw-in. To perform a punt or kick pass, use the same controls as a free kick.
You can also drop the ball by tapping Control Ball on your controller or keyboard. After the ball is dropped, control the goalie
like you would any other player on the field. Be careful! Once
your keeper drops the ball, opposing players can attempt to steal
the ball away and score an easy goal.
DEFENDING PENALTY SHOTS
Defending a penalty shot takes luck and quick reflexes. Before a
penalty shot, use the directional control to position the goalie
along the goal line. Once the kick is made, you can dive to one
side by aiming the directional control and pressing Pass. Stay
alert! If you prevent the ball from going into the net on the
initial shot, the ball remains in play until cleared out of bounds.

in-game menu to return to the match. The substitution is made
during the next stoppage in play.
Understanding Team Strategy
As the coach, you have the ability to set your team’s strategy
using a combination of team tactics and formations. Changing
your team’s strategy can have a dramatic effect on their on-field
performance. This section describes the different strategic options you have available when managing a team.
International Football 2000 Player’s Guide • page 34
Team Tactics
A team’s overall style of play is specified using a particular team
tactic. The team tactic determines how the players move on the field
and how they interact with one another. For example, if you wanted
to generate more scoring chances, you could choose an Attacking
tactic that emphasizes ball movement into the attacking area.
The following table describes each of the team tactics available in
International Football 2000.
TACTIC
Balanced
DESCRIPTION
Strikes a balance between attacking and defensive tactics. Use this strategy if you are unsure
of an opponent’s tactics or your team’s overall
level of ability.
Total Attack
An aggressive, end-game tactic whereby the
entire team attempts to move the ball up field
to generate scoring chances. Try this strategy
when your team is a goal behind and the match
is in its late stages.
Total Defend
When this tactic is used, players tend to stay in
the defensive area to provide a strong defensive
line. Favouring defensive strength above generating scoring chances, this end-game strategy
is effective against teams that play a strong,
attack-oriented game. This tactic is also effective when protecting a lead late in the game.
Pressure
A zone-oriented tactic characterized by close
marking of the opposition’s players according
to the position of the ball. Use this tactic
against a poor ball-handling team to gain
possession of the ball by pressuring the opposing player to make a bad pass. Using this tactic
may result in breakaways for the other team if
a successful forward pass is made.
Counter-Attack When this tactic is used, players attempt to
move the ball quickly up field after a turnover
using quick passes thereby catching the
opposition’s defenders off-guard. This is a good
tactic to choose if you have quick forwards who
can rush behind the opposition’s defensive line,
or against strong attacking teams since it
concentrates on drawing the opposition’s
defence forward.
International Football 2000 Player’s Guide • page 35
Offsides
Attacking
Defending
TIP: Changing your team’s
style of play may also require a player substitution.
For example, if you change
your tactics from Attacking
to Defending, you may want
to use players who have high
tackling or strength ratings.
A zone-oriented tactic that makes defenders
move up field with the play, thereby causing
the opposition to withdraw or risk being
caught offside. This tactic tends to cut-off the
opposition’s forwards from the play and generates more turnovers. The risk with using this
strategy lies with the possibility of your defenders being caught too far forward resulting
in a breakaway for the opposing team.
A tactic whereby most players stay in the
midfield or attacking areas to generate scoring
chances. This is a good tactic to choose if your
team has skilled forwards and midfielders.
A defence-oriented tactic whereby most players
stay in the midfield or defensive areas to
prevent scoring chances. Use this tactic if you
want to play a more conservative game.
Total Attack, Total Defend, and Offsides tactics are specialized
strategies that should be used sparingly or in end-game situations.
Team Formations
Formations are identified by a series of numbers that describe the
general arrangement of players on the pitch from the defenders
out to the forwards. For example, a 4-4-2 formation would use
four defenders, four midfielders, and two forwards.
The following table describes the different formations available in
International Football 2000:
FORMATION DESCRIPTION
3-5-2
A formation that favours attacking tactics where
midfield strength is important. Your team’s defenders must be very strong to use this formation since
they need to cover a large area of the defensive
area.
4-4-2
A popular formation that distributes players evenly
on the pitch. You can use this formation successfully with a wide range of team tactics. This formation is especially effective if you have two quick
outside wingers or if you want to play a possession-oriented game.
4-5-1
A defence-oriented formation that emphasizes
midfield and defensive area strength.
International Football 2000 Player’s Guide • page 36
4-3-3
5-3-2
2-5-3
4-2-4
A modification of the 4-4-2 formation that moves a
midfielder up to the forward line. Use this formation when you want to press the attack without
sacrificing all your defensive area coverage. Also
effective when used in conjunction with a “longball” strategy.
A very strong, defence-oriented formation that
puts five players in the defensive area. A good
formation for playing possession-oriented games.
The most aggressive, attack-oriented formation
available. The opposition defence must contend
with three forwards supported by five midfielders.
Using this formation is risky as your defenders are
extremely vulnerable to any counter-attacks that
break through the midfield area. A popular formation used in the first half of the century, it is
rarely seen in modern football today.
A formation that emphasizes long passes from
the defenders to forwards into the attacking area.
This formation is effective if you want to play a
“long-ball” game by lobbing passes over the opposition midfielders.
In addition to a standard arrangement, variations of each formation are also available. In most cases, a variation simply staggers
one or more of the forward, midfield, and defensive lines and
gives your team a different look on the field.
Some variations of standard arrangements involving a roving
player – also called the libero or sweeper – who plays deep in the
defensive area in front of the goalkeeper. For example, a popular
variant of the 5-3-2 formation is the 1-4-3-2 formation that
drops one of the defenders back to act as a deep-lying sweeper
between the defensive line and keeper. Other variants similarly
use a roving player between the defensive line and the midfield
to act as a centre back or stopper who is primarily responsible for
winning balls in the air and disrupting the attack in the defensive midfield.
International Football 2000 Player’s Guide • page 37
Team Management Tips
Although you are free to choose to use any formation with any
tactic, certain tactics are more effective when paired with a
particular formation. For example, if you choose an Attacking
tactic, you would likely want to use a formation that emphasizes
midfield and forward strength, such as 4-3-3 or 3-5-2.
The following table ranks the suitability of a particular formation
to the team tactics available in the game:
TIP: Formation variants
can be effectively paired

standard formation.

The skill of your players can also help you choose a style of play.
If necessary, make roster changes or substitutions to get the
right players into the game. For example, if you have a team with
defenders that possess good passing skills, an aggressive attackoriented strategy would be a Counter-Attack or Attacking tactic
paired with a 4-2-4 formation. This would allow your defenders to
lob passes over the midfield and into the attacking area.
Another good way to manage your team is to first determine your
immediate in-game objectives. This helps you determine a suitable in-game tactic. Once you’ve narrowed down your tactical
options to one or two choices, try to determine the formation
being used by the opposition. After you’ve determined the
opposition’s formation, you can determine a suitable counterformation and tactic.
If you want to play a defensive game, a good rule of thumb is to
choose a formation that gives you an equivalent or greater
number of players in the defensive area followed by the midfield.
International Football 2000 Player’s Guide • page 38
For example, if your opponent uses a 4-2-4 formation, a 4-5-1 or
5-3-2 formation would be a good counter-formation since you
would not be at a numerical disadvantage in the defensive area.
Pairing this formation with a defence-oriented team tactic would
be a good strategy.
If you want to create scoring opportunities, choose a formation
that gives you a numerical superiority in the attacking or
midfield areas. For example, if the opposition uses a 4-4-2
formation, try countering with a 4-3-3 or 2-5-3 formation along
with an attack-oriented team tactic. This would give you a good
attack-oriented strategy.
Ultimately, don’t be afraid to experiment with different tactical
and team formation combinations!
