Football B-side

Five-a-side football

Football B-side is a top-down five-a-side football game for PC. Arcade mode is a single match for one or two players on the couch; Knockout mode is an eight-team cup you can play over a lunch break. In each match, you control the player in the middle of a diamond with a keeper, stopper and two wide forwards on your side.

Passes go to the teammate your stick points toward, or you can hold the pass button for a lob. Hold shoot to slow time and place your shot inside the post. Slide tackles win the ball only when they make contact, while a dash knocks opponents over. Keepers have ratings that affect what they hold: a keeper rated 58 spills a ball that one rated 81 holds.
