Worked a little on the League Play section, and added a few more terms in the
Soccer Terminology Section.

Well, I have decided to work on another FAQ aside from my WWF No Mercy guide
(which will probably be tough to get the motivation to write). I completed
everything except for the In-Depth of the players (which I did do a few of).
.---------------------------------------------------------------------------.
| Introduction by the Author |
`---------------------------------------------------------------------------'
I was looking through my old PC game collection when I came across the disc to
Backyard Soccer, not even in its original case. I looked at it, and thought
about playing it again, for old times sake. I popped it in, and it made me
remember how great this game is, for a children's title. It's simplisitc
playing makes for great fun, and it can be hard to stop playing.
Backyard Soccer is a game that I am not ashamed to say that I like. Even though
it is for younger children, I can't help but love this game. It's so simple,
yet every game seems like a challenge to me.
Anyways, I recommend this game if you want some good, cheap fun. It's fairly
addictive, be warned.
That's why I decided to write an FAQ for the game (that, and there were none on
this site). I hope that it can be helpful to you.

| Controls / Basic Tips |
`----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
Controls
+--------+
There are two different controls set ups, both are incredibly simple.
ONE BUTTON:
===========
Left Mouse Button: -Run
-Dribble
-Pass
-Shoot
-Throw
-Tackle
TWO BUTTON:
===========
Left Mouse Button: -Run
-Dribble
Right Mouse Button: -Pass
-Shoot
-Throw
-Tackle
Basic Tips
+----------+
-> Be aware of each player's abilities and weaknesses.
-> To dribble, click the left mouse button slightly in front of the player who
has possesion of the ball (the cursor shall appear as a circle instead of an
X).
-> To shoot, move the cursor somewhere inside the goal (where you want the ball
to go) and click the mouse.
-> Use power-ups to your advantage.
-> Having siblings on the same team will make them perform better.
-> The descriptions included with each player also tell you something about
their personal style of soccer. This usually has no affect on the Skill
Ratings.
-> When you hear your player complaining, he/she probably wants a substitution.
-> Place your players where they will be MOST helpful according to their
ratings.
.----------------------------------------------------------------------------.
| The Clubhouse |
`----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
This is the main menu, set in a clubhouse overlooking a soccer field. From
here, you can utilize any feature in the game.
Pick-Up Window
+--------------+
This is an exhibition match between two teams, a pick-up game (hence the name
Pick-Up window). You can create your own team by clicking on the shirt, or you
get a randomized team by clicking the soccer ball. You can change the venue of
the match by clicking the arrows on either side of the binoculars that appear
on the screen. This is a good mode to use to practice your skills for League
Play. I don't use it that much, however.
League Play
+-----------+
This is where it gets down to the brutality of children's soccer. Ok, so maybe
it isn't so brutal, but it's definitely grueling as the manager/player. You
lead your team through three seasons (minimum), with an Indoor Soccer
Tournament in the middle of the season (invite only, if you have a good record,
you will be invited). Then, there is a large tournament at the end of each
season for the Divison Cup.
Once you win a championship, you can check out the trophy in the Trophy Case at
the Clubhouse.
Trophy Case
+-----------+
This is for all to admire your accomplishments as a coach. This also holds the
record books, accessible later in the game.
Other Menu Items
+----------------+
CARD BINDER:
============
A profile of every player that you can control in the game.
SOCCER BALL:
============
Click this, and it replays the introduction FMV
MR. CLANKY:
===========
This appears under the Trophy Case after winning the Astonishingly Shiny
Cup of All Cups. It just makes a weird noise.
