Football.io is a fast io-style football game where you face three other players and knock them out by scoring past them.
About Football.io
Football.io is an io-style football game with a twist: there are four goals and four players, and every goal you score against a rival knocks them out. The last player still defending a goal wins the match, so every round mixes attacking and defending.

Tips to win at Football.io
Pick on the weakest goalkeeper first. Knocking one player out early makes the rest of the match easier.
Never leave your own goal open for long. A quick shot from a rival can end your round.
Use the angles. Shots that bounce off the walls are harder to block than straight shots.
Watch where the other players are attacking. When two rivals are fighting over one goal, it is often a good moment to take a shot at a third player whose goal is unguarded.
Defence wins long rounds. Stay close to your own goal when several balls or players are nearby, and only push forward when you see a clear chance.
Football.io suits players who like io-style games and fast, chaotic matches with a bit of tactics.
