-> ''Get ready. This summer, {{the World Cup}} is taking over the U.S. And [[BoldInflation WORLD CUP SOCCER]] pinball is ready to take on the world!''

''World Cup Soccer'' is a {{pinball}} game by Bally, released to promote the 1994 [[TheWorldCup World Cup]].

As far as pinball goes, the table pretty accurately emulates the World Cup experience - you buy tickets, fill the stadiums with fans, and most importantly shoot goals. In addition, you move through the various cities the RealLife teams went to, and eventually take on the top contender (Germany) to become champion.
