Arcade game question - can anyone help me identify a game?

If this is in the wrong section, I apologize (Mods, please move if needed, I wasn't sure where to post this.)

I spent a summer in Ireland in 1995, and spent a bunch of my free time in an arcade in Dublin on Connelly St.

I realize that this is a stretch, but I'm hoping that someone can help me identify a soccer game that I absolutely played the hell out of while I was there.

Loved it, and couldn't stop playing.

I've been trying to find the title (and hopefully the pcb) for over 5 years now, so I thought perhaps someone here can give me some suggestions as to what the game might be.

All I can say is that it was extremely popular, as I usually had to wait for my turn. It was a soccer game, but it wasn't a half-pitch view (like VS4).

If anyone has any clues as to a popular soccer game in Europe back in 1995, please let me know.

Thanks for your time.

Steve

I'm 100% certain that isn't it.

The game would take the view of behind the play, so you were facing the goal, but not from the ground (it was elivated.)

I think it might be Konami's Soccer Superstars, but can't confirm it.

Have you tried a game search for 'soccer' on www.system16.com?

Sure have. No pictures for Soccer Superstars.

Thats the japanese flyer for Soccer Super Stars, hopefully the screens will help you tell if its the one or not.

Its from 95 at least, and apparently it had a US/Eur/and Japan release so I would think if you keep an eye out on ebay/klov/etc you should be able to find it if thats the game you are thinking of.
