Head Soccer – Pick Your Country and Score to Win!
Head Soccer is a fun and addictive HTML5 football game where you choose a country, face a CPU opponent, and race to score 5 goals first. Easy to pick up, hard to put down — great for players of all ages.
Gameplay
Select your country from a roster of 6 nations and go head-to-head against a CPU opponent. Use your head and boot to kick the ball into the opponent’s goal. The first player to score 5 goals wins the match. After each goal, the ball respawns near the team that conceded — giving you a fair chance to get back in the game.
