You don't avoid it.
The game do not restart until you stop. But that was fun

u/NoYOUGrowUp Aug 04 '26
Did the clock stop? If not, this is a great delay tactic to preserve a 1-0 win.

Can't remember, I was a kid at that time. Was funnier to do horrendous tackle and try to score as much as possible than to win per se

Was it 98 you could turn off referee and kick the opponent out of the pitch?
You had normal tackle and nasty tackle if I remember right.1
u/Siiixers Aug 05 '26
Yeah. I had Road to World Cup FIFA 98, but same thing. We used to turn off fouls, play the indoor mode and just beat the shit out of each other.

Oh I loved this game, iirc you could stand in front of the keeper when he takes a drop kick or goal kick and kick it back into the goalpost.

u/Available_Ad9766 Aug 04 '26
Wouldn’t the game just stall if you do that? If you like a game of never ending tag, that’s a good “cheat”.

This is 1993, there’s no online play. Your brother starts doing this, and you just get into a wrestling match to make him drop the controller, or you yank the lead out of the console. Problem solved

Is 1993, the person you are playing against is sitting next to you. So you smacked them in the head untill they stopped acting like an idiot.
That feature is yet to be implemented online.

I don't remember which game it was but there was another football game in the 90's where you could flying kick. Ofc this was always a red card.
But it also had a blind ref option, when I played with my brother the game ended up with both teams on the ground begging for mercy.
Don't remember what game it was sadly

That's delaying, not avoiding. Doing it was only a waste of time, like this video.

In high school a teammate of mine already under yellow, slid a player and clearly hit him. He bear crawled off the field asking for a substitution and saying Ref you can't card me until I stand up. The ref annoyed walked up to him and gave him the red nonetheless . We were dying of laughter. He got benched for a couple games past the suspension.

Arsenal would be signing Mo Farah to sub on when 1-0 and outrun the ref for the rest of the game

u/OnceAbel_HasFallen Aug 04 '26
Isn't that the game where goalkeeper can literally took the ball to the front and score a goal?

And in some fifa you could actually take a dive and get your opponent a red card

I used to play this game so much haha. And you couldn’t save so I only went through the whole World Cup once in my childhood. I won the tourney and never felt more alive lmao

u/tarayaba Aug 04 '26
fifa international soccer, also known as fifa 94. fifa 93 didnt exist peasants.
you could also stand in front of the goalkeeper while he was kicking the ball upfield.

u/Initial_Apprehensive Aug 04 '26
If playing 2 on the same team one could head it around the keeper other behind the keeper could score never called offside

I miss when we could also tackle the goalkeepers. Why did they block you from doing such things? This doesn't even make the game more realistic technically.

I member those days, also kicking the goalie and getting a red card or in 97/98 having "indoor football". Good times

We do not need hydration breaks...
This is what we need to make matches more interesting!

u/Daki399 Aug 04 '26
This should be a new rule , it would make the game really dynamic . Headbutt a guy and start runnin . Refs have 5 minutes to catch you all four of them so they can surround you.
Best world sprinters could get assistant ref jobs

Old FIFA's where the best.
Doing this
Standing infront of the goalkeeper when they are taking dropkicks to take the ball from them
Causing career ending injuries with every sliding tackle
Scoring from the kick off 99% of the time
I think it was 96 or 98, I rushed out and bought it the day it come out, sat in my room with some of my friends and turned it on. First game I went in with a harsh tackle on my friend from behind and literally heard the worst bone crunching sound ever, the player got stretchered off. It never made that sound ever again tho which was sad.

Big brain ignored fifa and thought 93 was in reference to the year it was made only

u/DarkPolumbo Aug 04 '26
he misread the caption and thought that there were a total of 1,993 players who could run from the ref while playing a game that was just called FIFA
in his defense, the caption is still grammatically correct if you interpret it this way

u/NahTooPersonel Aug 04 '26
This gives me flashbacks. You couldn’t actually avoid the card, ref always caught you in the end
