World Soccer Champions — Play Free Online

World Soccer Champions is a browser football game from the sports section of Doodle Jump's catalogue. You pick a side, take control of the players on the pitch and try to put the ball in the net before the other team does. Matches are short, so it fits the gaps in a day rather than demanding an evening.

It sits a long way from the vertical bounce of Doodle Jump itself, but the appeal is similar: you understand the goal within seconds, the controls are small, and a lost match makes you want an immediate rematch. It loads in the page with nothing to install, on a laptop, a Chromebook or a phone.

How to play

On a keyboard, use the arrow keys or WASD to move your player. The mouse is used to aim and to select options in the menus. On a phone or tablet, you tap and swipe instead.

A match follows the usual football shape: you move toward the ball, try to win it, and aim a shot or pass toward the opposing goal while defending your own. Menus before kickoff let you choose what to play, using the mouse or a tap.

Tips

• Learn the controls in an early, low-stakes match before a tournament or a close game. Movement and aiming are separate inputs on a keyboard, and it takes a few minutes to get comfortable.
• Do not chase the ball with every player at once. Leaving your own goal open is the easiest way to concede.
• Aim a shot before you are right in front of the goal, not at the last moment, so the keeper has less time to react.
• If you play on a phone, rest the device on a surface or hold it steady so your swipes stay accurate.
