Head Soccer: 1v1 Online Matches

About Head Soccer

Head Soccer is a big-head soccer in which two players with huge heads and tiny bodies face off in a one-on-one match. Forget eleven-a-side and tactics boards: here it's all about reflexes, jumping at just the right moment and a good header. You can play against the computer or challenge a friend on the same keyboard, which makes it one of the easiest big-head games to jump into for a quick match.

Before kicking off, you pick your favorite team, and the match is played on a small field with a goal at each end. The ball bounces a lot and the physics are over the top, so goals come from volleys, rebounds off the crossbar or a charged shot that crosses the whole field. In English, this style is known as head soccer or football heads.

How do you play Head Soccer?

The aim is to score more goals than your opponent before the match ends. Your player can move left and right, jump, kick and fire a super shot that's more powerful than a normal shot.

1. Choose whether to play alone or with someone else.
2. Select your team.
3. Check the controls screen: it shows each player's keys.
4. Defend your goal and look for an opening to shoot or head the ball in.
5. Use the super shot when the ball is close and the goal is open.

Tips for playing better: Head Soccer

• Don't stay glued to your goal: if you wait under the crossbar, your opponent has the whole field to shoot. Stand a step ahead to cut off high balls.
• Jump just before the ball arrives: a header at the peak of your jump is the hardest shot to stop in any big-head match.
• Save the super shot for when the ball is low and close to you; fired from far away or with the ball in the air, it's easily wasted.
• Make the most of rebounds: a weak shot off the crossbar can drop right in front of the opponent's goal and leave you an easy finish.
