The Sooners have a lot to be optimistic about in 2021. Oklahoma could finally get over the hump and win a Playoff game and have as good a chance to win an eighth national title as they’ve had. Clemson football has been one of the best programs in the country in the last five to six seasons and head coach Dabo Swinney and the Tigers will be the heavy favorite to win their seventh.


The best virtual kick-arounds on iOS

Updated December 3, 2020: New entries added

Football is going through a bit of a sticky patch right now. Empty stadia and fussy VAR systems have taken much of the energy out of the professional game, while the grass roots game has been hugely disrupted by various lockdowns.

All we can say is: thank goodness for football games. Due to the sheer breadth and depth of the mobile football game market, it's possible to sate your football fix with a simple download. Or even 25 downloads, if you wish to be comprehensive.

The following list of top football games covers an awful lot of ground. If you thought that all football games were more or less the same, you're in for a shock.

We've got arcade kick-arounds, in-depth simulators, and lots of weird hybrids that don't comfortably fit into any easy categorisation.

Let us know if we've left your favourite iOS football game out in the comments below.

The makers of the brilliant Pixel Cup Soccer have produced this Apple Arcade follow up, which is a much slicker, more polished, 3D affair. At heart, though, it's still a light and fun arcade kick around.

Tiki Taka Soccer

Publisher: Panic Barn
Genre: Arcade, Simulation, Sports

No, it's not a game about boring the opponent to death with metronomic passing. In fact, Tiki Taka Soccer is one of the most thrillingly instinctive games of virtual soccer on the App Store.

Available on: iOS + Android
Find out more about Football Manager 2021 Mobile

Not as in depth or sophisticated as Football Manager Touch, Football Manager 2021 Mobile nonetheless provides an accessible footy management game for iPhone owners and those who don't want to fall too far down the FM rabbit hole.

Retro Soccer

Another fast-paced arcade kick-around that draws inspiration from the classic top-down games of yesteryear. Retro Soccer is rough around the edges, but it's never less than a giggle to play.

Motorball

Genre: Multiplayer, Sports

Thanks to Rocket League football with cars is a big thing. Motorball gives you a little slice of that, pared back and with a top-down perspective.

eFootball PES 2020

Publisher: Konami
Genre: Sports

If you want an in-depth console-style take on football for your mobile, there's only really one choice - and it isn't FIFA Mobile. PES 2020 isn't perfect, but it's built on the same engine as the console games.

Soccer Stars

Available on: iOS + Android

More casual multiplayer action here, as you flick your counters around the pitch to score goals. If you like Subbuteo and air hockey, give it a shot.

Flick Soccer 19

Publisher: Full Fat
Genre: Arcade, Sports

Okay, so we've established that Flick Kick Football is the king of ball flicking. But Flick Soccer comes forward with a number of interesting ideas of its own, and is undoubtedly the deeper experience.

Football

Tiny Striker

Available on: iOS
Find out more about Tiny Striker

Like Flick Kick Football with a top-down perspective, Tiny Striker has you bending the ball into the back of the net from a variety of improbable positions.

Score! Hero

Available on: iOS

Score! Hero plays like a Match of the Day highlights package, placing you in control of the decisive passes and shots of each game. It's a bit like a flashier (though much less charming) New Star Soccer.

Available on: iOS + Android
Find out more about Big Win Soccer

Big Win Soccer brings a dose of the Panini sticker album (or Pokemon, if you're young) to the footy game genre. Open packs, build your team, and cheer them to victory over other players.

FIFA Mobile

Rumble Stars

Available on: iOS + Android
Find out more about Rumble Stars

Rumble Stars Soccer has more in common with Clash Royale than FIFA, but we're not complaining. This is a brilliantly tactical online multiplayer kick-around with larger-than-life animal players and sharp presentation.

From the makers of Mucho Party and Lamp and Vamp comes this unlikely mixture of Subbuteo, chess and Rocket League. Swipe your players into position and outscore the (real life) opposition.

Super Soccer Champs 2020

Publisher: Uprising Games
Genre: Sports

Super Soccer Champs 2020 goes back to the arcade footy greats of the home computer era - think Sensible Soccer and Kick Off. That means intuitive top-down action with hidden layers of depth.

Dream League Soccer 2020

Publisher: First Touch Games
Genre: Sports

First Touch Games has built a reputation over many years for being one of the best at translating the console footy experience to mobile. Dream League Soccer 18 is another shot on target.
