Now that we have decent scans and have bothered to do some basic research, I'm thinking [[Sega Worldwide Soccer 98: Club Edition]] is in fact the same game as this one. Non-Euro versions downplayed the existence of European club teams, and the name change was purely cosmetic (and unnecessary!).

PC Version

I've got a nasty suspicion that "Worldwide Soccer PC" is different to "Worldwide Soccer for the PC"

i.e. the US PC listing here should be here. It may solve the mystery of Worldwide Soccer Championship too.

Can anyone confirm or deny any of this? -Black Squirrel (talk) 12:33, 5 December 2015 (CST)
