In what feels like the Stone Age now, there used to be a time when not everyone owned a PlayStation or Xbox to play FIFA. Instead, people played Flash games on popular sites like Miniclip and AddictingGames.
Since everyone is stuck inside with not much else to do, perhaps some old Flash games will help pass the time. Here's a list of the top 10 best soccer Flash games. Links to all of the games are provided.
1. Drop Kick
Drop Kick is one of the more challenging Flash games on this list. Choose a country at the 2006 World Cup and try to raise the trophy. Timing is key in this game and the slightest error will result in you being booted from the tournament.
2. 1 on 1 Football
The 1 on 1 sports series follows different sports heads fighting for victory. Use different power-ups to help yourself or hinder your opponent. This game is also two-player! So grab a sibling, parent or pet to face off against if you’re tired of playing solo.
3. Football Heads
Football Heads is similar to 1 on 1 Football, but this time around power-ups are off and there are different versions to play, including the Champions League and 2014 World Cup. This game also has a two-player option.
4. SpeedPlay Soccer 4
SpeedPlay Soccer 4 is about the closest game to a knock-off FIFA on this list. Control your players with your cursor and choose a country to fight for glory with.
5. Soccer Stars
Soccer Stars is a game that will get your blood boiling until you’re ready to throw your computer. Soccer Stars is also a mobile game. Face different players online in the ultimate battle of slide soccer.
6. Monkey Kick Off
Monkey Kick Off is the most relaxing game on this list. The stakes are low, the pressure is minimal and all you have to do is see how far you can kick it. Try and kick the ball to the monkey village to get some amazing monkey tunes.
7. Be John Terry: King Of Defenders
Remember when John Terry was not only playing, but relevant? Be John Terry: King Of Defenders is an entertaining and challenging game of heading accuracy. Help England lift the trophy with the true heading power of Terry.
8. Keeper
Keeper gives you the perspective at the other end of all of these shots. The only downside to this game is that the gloves take up practically the entire screen. Avoid the trash and block the balls!
9. Soccer Pro
Be a one-man team in Soccer Pro and get past way more than 11 defenders to score for your team. The shooting mechanics do take some getting used to — I got Brazil’d in my first game and lost 7-1.
10. Simple Soccer Championship
The game is in the name for Simple Soccer Championship. Click and drag your way to the final in this slow-moving soccer tournament.
