The Top 10 Best GameCube Football Games (Ranked)

The Nintendo GameCube had a truly bizarre football library. Because it missed out on the standard FIFA-versus-PES rivalry that dominated the PS2 and Xbox, we were left with a wildly chaotic catalogue of violent arcade brawlers, Disney characters, and imported masterpieces. Today, I’m ranking the Top 10 football games on the GameCube. From the brutal, referee-free tackles of RedCard and the frantic multiplayer of Sega Soccer Slam, to the sheer scale of EA’s FIFA franchise, we look at the best (and weirdest) football games the little purple cube had to offer. Plus, we dive into the legendary Japan-exclusive that secretly claims the crown as the greatest football game on the console. Let me know in the comments: what are your favourite local multiplayer memories from games like Mario Smash Football or Sega Soccer Slam? And did any of you resort to importing Winning Eleven 6 back in the day just to get your Konami fix? 0:00 - The GameCube Football Library 1:00 - Virtua Striker 3 ver. 2002 2:59 - RedCard 5:25 - Disney Sports Football 7:32 - FIFA Street Games 9:50 - ISS 2 12:29 - Sega Soccer Slam 14:39 - Mario Smash Football 17:29 - ESPN MLS Extra Time 2002 20:40 - The FIFA Games 25:44 - Winning Eleven 6: Final Evolution 28:55 - My final thoughts
