World Tour Soccer '06 for the PSP system welcomes the talent and brilliant soccer play of Pavel Pardo as its cover athlete and spokesman for the franchise. Pardo's determined defensive abilities and pinpoint shooting accuracy have made him someone to watch on the world's stage. Currently representing Mexico in the 2006 World Cup, Pardo's free-kick to teammate Omar led to Mexico's first goal, reinforcing Pardo's status as one of the team's premier playmakers and solidifying an opening round win against Iraq.

The sport of soccer can trace its roots to ancient times, as matches were recorded as early as 255 B.C. in parts of Europe, China and what is now Canada. Today, soccer fans can use MLS tickets to watch professionals in the United States or see a high level of play in just about any country. The ultimate soccer and sporting event, the World Cup, is held every four years, and it's the most-watched sporting event in the world.
