The game represents a simplified football/soccer World cup, which consists of eliminating 7 teams to win the final victory. The first 3 are announced simulating a group stage prior to the direct elimination stage. The other 4, as part of that stage. In that second stage, all the classified selections are shown and which are advancing and which are staying along the way.[5]
Each match lasts 2 minutes, stopping the time each time the ball is not in play, contrary to the official rules of this sport. When the clock reaches zero, there will be 12 extra seconds not shown on the screen, as injury time.

The game presents 28 national teams, which have 3 characteristics that differentiate them from each other, which are shown when choosing each one: Shooting, Defense and Speed.[5] The countries represented are, in order of position on the selection screen:
