Play FIFA 2006 Online

FIFA 2006 on the GBA is one of those handheld soccer games that feels stripped down but still gets the basics right. The controls are simple—pass, shoot, sprint—but the matches can get tense when you're trying to break through a tight defense. The pixelated players move a little stiffly, but there's something satisfying about chipping the ball over the keeper.

I remember playing a rainy match where every pass slid farther than usual, making it harder to control. It was frustrating at first, but then I realized I could use it to my advantage, bouncing long balls past defenders. The commentary is repetitive, but the crowd noise and referee whistles give it that stadium feel.

It's not deep, but FIFA 2006 works well for quick matches when you just want to kick a ball around.
