Gameplay Notes:

Side view. Within 30 seconds I scored a goal! It turned out to be an anomaly as I spent the next 25 minutes running around wiht nothing to show for it. Sigh Movement and passing are amazing. I love that you can just rapidly pass and kick the ball around. No sim here. No long animations and momentum-based movement. Just press a direction and go that way. It's still soccer, but it moves well. Also love the simple two button controls.
