I don't know much about soccer except it was forced onto us American
kids over 50 years ago when I was one. Still going on I think.

The 'missing games' also show up if you use the website interface >(https://gaming.amazon.com) instead of the Amazon Games client

you'd prefer to click 'add-to-library' for all the games at once
rather than juggling between two clients, that's the way to do it.
(Personally, I don't mind the two clients thing but Twitch's 'crown'
menu always feels so messy and finicky that I tend to use the website)
The discrepancy is likely because Amazon hasn't added support for
logging into third-party clients (Origin/UPlay/etc.), and without that
they can't access your third-party account to add the non-Amazon games (Twitch already had that support built-in when Amazon bought the
company). Presumably this is because they want to get people to visit
the website to see adverts, or somethin'.
There's a number of games that look interesting on 'Luna' cloud gaming too, maybe I'll give that a try now.
Hot Wheels Unleashed (wanted to try this)
Everspace (love this game)
Earthworm Jim (been a long time, I assume this is newer? liked the game
I played)
You can click 'games' at the top and that way you don't have to see
all the micro-transaction games' free bling, which is most of what they have.
A great selection of games this month, I had been on the fence about buying >AC:O after the free weekend, now I don't have to! Shadow of Mordor is good, >I just wasn't into it, and I had that already thanks to your givaway :)
Oh, looking through the terms of service, it's US only though currently, I know
a lot of us aren't in the US, but I am so I'll give it a try.

Sci-fi author John Ringo on the differences between American football
and soccer.
Occasionally broad, deceptive stratagems are enacted and are very
successful. But in general the best technique is a slow ground pound
towards the enemy headquarters. This may be more brutal, but it's also
the best way to avoid major defeats. Occasional airmobile raids and
assaults into the enemy backfield are appropriate and can enact major
gains. [...]

I was thinking John Ringo must be really old, because that hasn't
been true in American football in a long time, at least not at the professional level. The last year the NFL as a league ran on more plays
than passed was 1983. You have to go way back to the league's earliest
days in 30's and 40's for passing to be considered only something teams
did "occasionally".

Sci-fi author John Ringo on the differences between American football
and soccer.
"In football, there are constant pauses where both sides reconsolidate.
The leader, dealing with advisors out of the battle frenzy, determines
the moves for the next assault while casualties are removed and resupply (WATERBOY!) is managed without interfering with the planning. Once the
plan is established, it is sent to all the lower units who move into
position and on H Hour begin the assault. There is an objective, but the objective is rarely reached, rather the assault brings the forces
forward a bit farther and another assault is planned. During the
assault, each unit has a stated objective and often secondary objectives
with precise plans on how to achieve them. That being said, sometimes,
often, in the midst of the assault, the plans tend to go awry and units
have to act in an aggressive, intelligent and pro-active manner to
ensure its success. Most of plans are not designed to take the main objective, but to prevent the enemy from reacting to the main assault.
Occasionally broad, deceptive stratagems are enacted and are very
successful. But in general the best technique is a slow ground pound
towards the enemy headquarters. This may be more brutal, but it's also
the best way to avoid major defeats. Occasional airmobile raids and
assaults into the enemy backfield are appropriate and can enact major
gains. They also can enact major defeats, so choose wisely. And,
eventually, you take the enemy's headquarters and, nine times out of
ten, they counterattack. The bastards.
In the meantime the defenders are making their plans. They aren't as
fixed as the assault group, because they don't know exactly what the
assault will turn out to be. So, by and large, they put their heavy
forces to the fore with light, fast forces to the rear in case the enemy stages a breakout. They would like to stop the enemy cold or even counterattack and push them back. But their main focus is simply to
break up the attack and channel it to ineffectiveness. Occasionally they
base their strategy on a plan of counter-attack during the assault. It's risky, it risks that their intermediate weight "anti-breakout" units are
tied up in the counter-attack. But when successful it's devastating.
In soccer there is a continuous fluidity. The objective changes from
moment to moment and no one can give clear orders because the situation changes too rapidly. There are, at best, weak and limited plans with exception of occasional brilliant coordination by a few minor units. The
best most leaders can do is give general directions and hope for the
best. Although there is a target, it is rarely achieved. There is no logistical resupply except removing units and replacing them with
sub-par ones. It depends upon the fleet movement of light fast units. If
you kick them in the shins they tend to fall on the ground writhing in
agony.
Football is how Americans fight wars. Soccer is how the French do it.
I know which one I'd choose."
