GROMBI FACT DROPREAL-WORLD TRIVIA

A strange little side quest

The rules may be simple on screen, but the backstory around Football Headz Cup is anything but tiny. The penalty kick entered football's laws in 1891 and was nicknamed the 'kick of death' in its early days. And then there is this: Archery was already on the Olympic programme in 1900, boxing joined the modern Games in 1904, and basketball became a medal sport in 1936. That long chain of experiments is part of why football still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.

GAME BRIEFSPORTS

What you are getting into

In Football Headz Cup, have a crack at goal like Julian Brandt. Select your team and then decide whether you'd like to go head-to-head with an opposing player or put two players on the pitch. Move around with the arrow keys and slice the ball with the spacebar. The game is in slow motion, so pay careful attention to the physics at play so you don't jump too early or late. When you've won one match, you'll proceed to the next round of the tournament. Grab as many coins as possible by scoring more goals, even if you think you already have this match in the bag.
