How it plays

• Match. Eleven a side against Smart Kaloo, with the clubs of the Super League, Division One and Division Two, or the nations of AFCON. You control whoever has the ball, or the nearest player when you're defending. Switch to another player any time.
• The referee. A mistimed slide or a trip from behind is a foul: a free kick, or a penalty inside the box, and often a yellow card. A second yellow, or bringing down a man through on goal, is a red: he's off and his side plays a man short.
• Offside. Be level with the second-last defender when the ball is played to you, or the assistant's flag goes up and it's a free kick to them.
• Set pieces. At a free kick, hold shoot and pick a corner to curl it over the wall. Corners: hold shoot to cross, longer goes deeper.
• Passing. Tap pass for a ground ball to the teammate you're pointing at. Hold it longer for a ball over the top. Lob chips it over a defender.
• Shooting. Hold shoot to build power and let go. Point the stick left or right to pick a corner. Full power flies high, and a shot under pressure goes wide more often.
• Defending. Get between the man and your goal. Tackle slides in: take the ball and you have it, take the man and he goes down.
• Penalties. Aim inside the goal, hold to power, let go to kick. In goal, pick your dive before the kick.
• 2 Players. One screen, a team each, on a computer or with two controllers (on phones, play each other online). On a keyboard player 1 uses WASD with F, G, R and Left Shift, player 2 the arrows with K, L, O and Right Shift. Two controllers: the first is player 1.
• Online. Open a match and send the link, or join with a code. Play for free or for a stake: the winner takes the pot, and a draw returns the stakes. Or play Smart Kaloo for money. Leaving a match early concedes it.
