Played one of these today at timezone and really enjoyed it. Im not a soccer fan at all but i loved how addictive it was to shoot goals and how 'busy' the playfield looked.

Looks great  ^^^

Definitely a fun game to play - similar to a Fishtales "fun factor". There's a kicker in the left hand side outlane that returns the ball in a direct line to the soccer ball, which (if rotating), deflects the ball into the goals (if the goalie does not save the ball). It is an amazing "play" that reminds me of the "think" mini flipper shot in Addams Family. Well designed game, and represents a lot of value for their price.

The only "Gotcha" with the Cliffy set around the saucers is that you will lose some of the power (especially in the saucer that shoots "up" the playfield). I replaced the factory (red) spring with a tighter spring and it works much better. It still "just makes" the goals. Clearly the Cliifys protect the playfield from further wear, but you do have to bend them slightly (towards the hole). The outholes are ALWAYS worn - it is an issues with the playfield wear over time, not the Cliffys. I had to replace the spring anyway, as it was weak to begin with..
