This game is a wonderful real-time soccer game to play on the mobile. Simple controls for non-professional players (such as myself) made this game a breeze to play on the train.
The mini-aiming challenge whenever one is trying for goal also makes this a little more true-to-life. So does the fact that players can get tired during the match and their stamina carries forward to the next match.
The problem here is that one is not able to see the fitness of one's players when choosing a line-up for the match (or else I have yet to figure out how). This means I have to remember which players were tired from the last match before kicking off.
Overall, though, this is a game which can keep one occupied for hours. Nice!

First my mobile is a samsung i900 omnia.
Due to only touch screen handling my
Rating maybe isn´t generally accepted.
The game makes fun still from the beginning. I had directly success in making goals and winning games.
You can play 16 games during the german league. Additional you can play a penalty shootout or a training
Competition.
Now I will come to some streaky annotation. I notice no differences between the three difficulties.
If your ability growth after a while you will win every game without any problem. So I would wish more challenging levels.
Besides I can suggest the game without further reservations.
