2006 FIFA World Cup

does they all have to be just bronze?

i think it's all gold. thats what i can remember anyway. swapping teammates rarely helps tho...it's more about getting through than 'cheating' ..the CPU AI is just too nasty to get cheated out of the game.

don't bother doing that, just keep on going (i know it sounds horrible!)

Bronze is enough.

I also discovered that the game doesn't always save the formations you change. If you change the formation of your opponent and then play the match and decide to restart it in the middle of the game it will change back the formation to the original one. However, if you play through the match once and then choose restart it won't reset the formation. After doing this once you can restart the match in the middle of the game.

This achievement was the most celebrated For me!
The Australia vs Solomon Island was the most difficult. That's when I decided to seek help and discovery scheme advesário ruin the team using the "Team Management", always changing the players (attackers placed the reserve on defense and quarterbacks in the attack) and change the formation (3 4 3) too.

Good luck!

Great Solution, Thx a lot !!!

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but I can't get into the oppositions "Team Management"!! When I go into it I can only alter my own team, but not the other. Tried switching sides but it won't let you, even tried using a second controller and it won't allow me to alter it!!

If I recall correctly you have to change their team through the main menu before going into global challenges.

The most incredible part was when i won 5-4 sweden vs brazil the first time i tried it. and i got the fifth goal at about 110 min. pure luck.

I got really lucky and the achievement glitched for me without me even doing even one challenge. After reading these replies I'm quite happy about that too now.

As if nobody had trouble with the "England Expects" challenge in Europe!! I was stuck on that plus the "Aussie Rules" one for a long time. Very difficult indeed. I'm on the Cup Finals and they're tough as nails.

This game helped me discover my Death Metal potential.

It's a little overdue in this discussion but to reach the "finals" challenges it looks like you have to have a gold for each challenge before that point. Like most of you poor souls I suffered at the hands of the Solomon Islands for a long time before my girlfriends brother suggested the power shot (rb+ b) after playing a through ball and have a slothful mark viduka or surprisingly nimble for his age Harry Kewell go one on one with the keeper. This would result in 3 scenarios a) the keeper somehow got fingertips to the ball and put it out for a corner, b) fly past the keeper for a goal (much to my awe) or c) the most likely to occur the power on it is too much for keeper to hold so the ball deflects off his hands and back out to the strikers who thank god follow the ball up and dribble the ball into the net (hooray). Anyway back to the point at hand I got the gold for this after completing the major objective and rushed to the finals set with a skip in my step so to speak I discovered they were still locked...So I quit out to the main menu still nothing, went to dashboard still nothing I even reset the xbox and got no results so by the process of elimination I've come to realise you will be needing a gold medal in all challenges, Ive got 16 gold 4 silver and 5 bronze to this day and have gone back to repeat some scenarios...some much much MUCH easier than others, but as fate would have it I will have to wait a little longer to get the hardest 500G of all time as I tripped on a cord in blind fury from losing a challenge and the disc has some pretty substantial scratches on it from my xbox falling off its perch...

Very "bitchy" guide,lol

fifa 06 suuuuucked! nice guide tho :-)

hardest achievement ever!

Anyone trouble with 1on1 vs goalkeeper in example Brazil - Sweden....

Best method and tip for sure... is when running 1on1 vs goalkeeper use the rightstick (flick it in the direction of the goalkeeper) (player will make a scissor movement and shoot and score...) Works 9 out of the 10 times.

lol funny guide but i know excatly how you feel because i felt the same before i got this achievement and too this date is still the hardest achievement i've ever earned!! :)

this game is great my third time doing this game i can only recommend what worked for me a 4-4-2 formation counter attack and press lt and b to flip it over the goalie there is a lil square boc under the guys name u are shooting with get the shot within the square 9 times out ten it is a goal

WOW, I'm stuck in the famous Brazil vs. Sweden finals! Ahhhhhhhhh! lmfao I want this to be over! lol 2 more to go and pop theres my achievement, over there waiting for me. Then bye bye gameX/ great tips man , thumbs up

Agreed, this was my toughest achievement so far. Luck is definitely part of the equation, just keep at it and you will eventually get it.

Brazil V.s. Sweden is impossible. It is the only one I have left, and I have given up hope.

Australia & Solomon and Germany & Argentina I achieved first time.

Brazil Vs. Sweden however took me absolutely ages. Then we I did it I scored two more goals than I needed. Essentially every shot went it. Still remember the feeling of completing it now

I'd like to add El Salvador vs Honduras to the list of difficult ones

Went back to do this achievement and I wish I hadn't bothered! Stuck on Italy vs Poland, some challenges are just stupidly hard!

This Achievement is a VERY close second to the hardest achievement I've ever gotten ("Defeated Killalon" from "Lost Odyssey" was the hardest). You will see a new side of yourself you've never seen before if you attempt to go for this one (rage, aggression, and suicidal thoughts to say the least).
One thing I will say is that the Sweden/Brazil Final is the hardest match even though the Solomon match is extremely difficult.
I found an almost sure fire way to complete the Sweden/Brazil match to give you 3 goals within 10 "minutes" of the end of the game:
First off, follow the instructions above related to making sure you are 4-2-4 and Brazil is 3-4-3; place Brazil's weakest forwards on defense and use their weakest goalie (honestly I'm not sure if using the weakest goalie matters, but nonetheless...).
The entire game you are trying to get the ball back to your back 4 defense players in front of the vertical penalty line. Give the bottom one of the two center defensive players the ball. Holding left on your left joystick, send the ball down field to the same center forward on your front 4 (tap "B" to send it down field). For Example (X is passing to Z):

O O
Y O O
Z O X
O O

When the ball is in the air, hold "up" on your joystick so the forward heads the ball "north" as it were. The second you have control, look for your other center forward (the letter "Y" in my diagram above) who should now be breaking for Brazil's goal. The instant you see him running, hold the left joystick in his direction and press "Y." This will lead him with a perfect pass to a one way street to the goalie.
Last part. Once your "Y" forward has the ball and your sprinting down the pitch (holding RT mind you), when you get to the vertical penalty line, stop sprinting and start rotating/moving the right joystick like crazy. This will cause you to do some fancy foot work and confuse the goalie (thanks to m00n22 from a previous comment for the inspiration). After you have moved the right joystick a few times (no more than a second or two) simply keep moving in the direction of the net and tap (don't hold) "B."
I scored 5 times in the game total after figuring this out and trust me I spent MANY hours trying to beat stupid Brazil.
I really didn't try this technique on any other team (because this match was my last one before I got the achievement), but I'd imagine if you had the same setup, you could use it.
Sorry this was long, but if someone else had posted something like this I would have been eternally grateful. Hope this helps those of you who are brave enough to attempt this monster legit. I would officially like to receive my green jacket as I am now part of this distinguished club ;)

Only thing I can suggest is follow the guides and persevere won the brazil game with a 35 yard shot and an brazil og and a fumble over the line in extra time (not the plan) took forever though.

GREAT SOLUTION,TO all other losers that took the easy way out,you have no skill!!!

After 5 years.. Finally.. Finally got this stupid achievement.. Good luck to anyone who still needs it. I wanted to chunk my controller at my t.v every second it felt like.. Glad its finally over!

This isn't even really a solution, its just a review on the achievement saying how hard it is, at least the glitched one is a damn answer to the achievement.

An honor. hahahahahahahaha Douchebag.

Just wanted to thank everyone who posted tips for these difficult challenges!
After many years of putting this achievement in the impossible pile, I finally unlocked it today.

I used all the tactics described above and the only one that gave me grief was the Sweden vs Brazil match. I just could never get the second required goal to go into overtime!

I finally got lucky when a diving header that went wide of the post was somehow counted as a goal despite going nowhere near the net. ( Thought WTF? But that was enough to get into overtime.)

Then after quickly scoring again I simply tried to hold onto the ball, but to my dismay Brazil scored from a corner in the dying minutes to send us into penalty shoot out.
Luckily I blocked one shot while scoring every time to finally unlock the achievement!

All I can say is to use the tactics described and keep trying! You WILL eventually get there!

So some say u need to only complete the bronze challenges and others say the last 4 challenges don't unlock unless u have all gold so which is it?

I totally took the easy way out.

"A known glitch can unlock this achievement early" I wish. It took me many years to finish this annoying little game

Hahaha, I did it the glitch way ;)

Remember the pain of getting this all those years ago. For those of you who haven't got this yet - I remember that chipping the ball over the goalkeeper was the easiest way to score (at least when I was doing it anyway).

It was an honor to get this achievement legit!!!!!It took skill time and patience,everyone wants quick achievements,oh my God this is too hard.I will leave it at that!!For all who have gotten it legit Congrats and welcome to an ellite squad!!!!!!!!!

FALSE MR DISCERPER U NEED ATLEAST A BRONZE TO UNLOCK THE FINALS

i have at least bronze on all challenges but the last 4 in the finals have not unlocked... any idea how to unlock the finals if this is not how to unlock them??
2 bronze
8 silver
13 gold

Good solution!

I would cut a hemophiliac baby right now to get this achievement, I want all those ingame players to die!!! (apologies if i offend anyone but im seriously pissed at this game right now)

It took me about a few seconds to complete with the glitch. hahahahaha

Just unlocked it today I can confirm you can get Bronze,Silver and Gold medals on different challenges and still get the achievement

I got the “Complete A Scenaro” achievement first, then the others soon followed.

this acheivment is almost HALF the gscore i earn a day😩

This formation worked for me too.4-2-4 against Solomon islands I won 9-0 with there formation on 3-4-3.Took many tries though

ezekiel, are you saying to use the y button to shoot in one on one situations? or are you saying to use through balls to get the one on one and then chip the keeper?

Yea the ozzies are shit like, you need the fastest players in attack and your directional aims will get the goals

i did austra;ia with some one else worked out pretty good until we had to do it for him .. :/

No problem. Happy to help somehow. :) Wish that the ppl, who gave negative feedback, would also comment...
