Good lord that game was frustrating. I can't even begin to describe the long nights my friends and I spent playing that game and not even managing to complete the middle league. The computer controlled team would just suddenly sprint across the pitch and score. Nothing you could do to stop them. When they wanted to score, they would.
I remember my dad once came back from a business trip, and he told me he'd bought a game for me (something he never did). He pulled out that game, and i remember being really disappointed, as i'd never heard of it, and it wasn't a classicly good game......but looking back, my sister and I actually had a really good time playing it, and I agree with you, i'd love a sequel.
