The Basics of Kickin' it with Winning Eleven 8

The biggest deal about the Winning Eleven 8 soccer game is that it's a rock-solid, realistic, soccer game.

The best part of the game is the awesome training mode! It'll take you from being a total newbie up to having elite soccer skills and you'll score you a ton of WEN points too.
