→Saves
The goal-keeper can also make saves with his feet. In this case, the ball rebounds off the keeper and back into play.
====Goals and Action Replay====
Whenever a goal is scored, the player who made the shot puts his arms in the air as some special sound effects are played. The score then changes, and the kickoff screen appears. Before you take the kickoff, you can see a slow-motion action replay of the goal by pressing '''SHIFT R''' (REDO). You may replay the goal as often as you wish before kicking off.
====Tackles====
Generally, the defense controlled player should be moved between the ball and goal so that any shots can be blocked or intercepted. To make a tackle, first position the controlled player next to the ball (in the position where he would be if he had control of the ball). Then press '''V''' (Team 1), '''ENTER''' (Team 2), or the FIRE button. The result of the tackle is randomly determined as one of the following:
* a successful tackle - the defense wins control of the ball and can now attack.
* a foul - the attack gets a free kick (see ''Passes, Shots, and Kicks").
* a loose ball - both attack and defense lose control and the ball is free (see "Interceptions").
* a failed tackle - the attacker continues in control of the ball, and the defender nearest his own goal becomes the defense controlled player.
Obviously, the better your position is in relationship to the ball, the better chance you have for a successful tackle.
If you find that the defense controlled player is not between the ball and the goal, you have two options:
* You can try to catch up with the ball. If you have only a small distance to make up, you may succeed since the players do not move at a constant speed.
* If you are a long way from the ball, make a tackle by pressing '''V''' (Team 1), '''ENTER''' (Team 2), or the FIRE button, even though you know it will fail. Control then passes to the defender nearest to his own goal, and you can bring the new controlled player out to tackle or to block a shot.
