I often regret that I didn’t get into football as a kid (note for people across the pond: football is what we call soccer in these here accursed, eternally post-imperial isles). The trouble was, all my friends liked football and I have an abiding hatred of popular things, a hatred that has obviously served me well during my later career as an online news journalist. I played hockey instead, which is the superior sport in that you get a big nasty stick, but also relatively niche because you need more equipment.
Still, I’ve enjoyed rediscovering football in videogames, and especially videogames that don’t treat football with much respect. You may have played or at least heard of Behold The Kickmen – now, here’s free downloadable Itch.io offering Cereballers to stick the boot in.
