FIFA: Road to World Cup 98 running with WINEDEBUG="+thread,+sync"

When running FIFA World Cup 98 or FIFA: Road to World Cup 98, the game freezes
during menu transitions. Menu transitions is when the game transitions from
"Menu -> Cutscene" or "Menu -> Game", "Game -> Menu", so on and so forth.

I'm grouping both games into the same issue because both games, as far as I
know, use the same engine, and both exhibit the same bug.

While FIFA World Cup 98 does not have a demo version, FIFA: Road to World Cup
98 does: https://archive.org/details/FIFAWC98

FIFA World Cup 98 freezes right after the splash screen of the game (where the
game transitions from the splash screen to a cutscene). FIFA: Road to World Cup
98 freezes right after the game tries to start a friendly match.

I did try using older Wine versions (the earliest version I tried was Wine
5.15), but it seems that this bug has been present for a long time.

The bug can be worked around by using "taskset -c 0 wine ..." when starting the
game, using "WINEDEBUG="+thread wine ..." or setting the kernel parameter
"maxcpus=1". It isn't a full workaround, the freeze still happens sometimes,
but it does work well enough that you can get into a game and play the game.

Watch out that the game does NOT run on Windows 11.
