A selection of 5 different football games
Sick of football games that take themselves so seriously? Just want to have fun with a ball at your feet without needing to master the hocus pocus, nutmegs, or 360s? Here we have five arcade football games for you with varying levels of crazy, for guaranteed fun with family and friends. A chance to see the stands once again full of life and full of colour.
Kopanito All-Stars Soccer
The first football game with no ref and no rules! Really easy to play, all the more so because being the best at Kopanito isn’t always about winning games. Unlock special powers during the game to flip the scoreline on its head. Some give you a guaranteed goal, while others are just for comfort (we’re looking at you, fan behind the goal). If you love cheating, you’ll love this.

Golazo! Soccer League
In Golazo! Football League, the action is played 7-a-side, in front of a crowd, and with no offsides or fouls (apart from in the box, of course) for a carefree footballing experience! Grab your controller and get stuck in: the action on the pitch is easy to pick up and play. That’s not to say that Golazo! is a simplistic game, because behind its accessible gameplay and cartoon graphics lies a deep game of football with a number of strategies to clinch the win! On the pitch and on the sidelines, you’ll find a selection of 52 national teams and footballing legends from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, or at least their entertaining aliases Jean-Pierre Papi, Armande Miradone and Zizu Zizane. A great game with a retro soul, a vibe that is only enhanced by the VHS filter.

Legendary Eleven
There’s nothing like a trip down memory lane! Legendary Eleven is an arcade football game featuring the star players of the 70s-90s, whose outdated gameplay is incredibly exhilarating. With its ultra-kitsch look, you can replay famous matches (or parts thereof) that have gone down in footballing history. Just know that the game gets harder as you string together victories, and is really challenging towards the end. Welcome to the premier league! Easier than Golazo but loads of fun.
