User reviews

Love the game but the Goalie glitch needs to be fixed

Sometimes the goalie grabs the ball and glitches and you need to wait for the half to finish. Happens pretty often, 5 stars once that’s fixed

Too difficult

It's just difficult to move the players and no matter what you do in shootouts on mobile it goes straight to the keeper

I love it

I think ia more of thw nostalgia of when i was a kid and played this in the school computer lab its just perfect :)

Fun but hard to control

So excited for this game to be out but it can be really hard and frustrating to control your players if you could add the ability to use a video game controller then that would be awesome now I’m getting sick and tired of them not updating the game

Fix the penalty glitch!

Good game but fix the penalty glitch
