The Best Soccer Flash Games To Play On The Computer While You Still Can

In what feels like the Stone Age now, there used to be a time when not everyone owned a PlayStation or Xbox to play FIFA. Instead, people played Flash games on popular sites like Miniclip and AddictingGames.

Since everyone is stuck inside with not much else to do, perhaps some old Flash games will help pass the time. Here's a list of the top 10 best soccer Flash games. Links to all of the games are provided.

Real Madrid Teases New George Foreman Looking Stadium Renovation For 100th Time

With no football being played, Real Madrid’s social media team decided now is the best time to show another video of what the club’s renovated stadium will look like. It feels like the Santiago Bernabéu renovations have been going on forever and it still reminds me of a massive George Foreman grill.

Is It “Soccer” Or “Football”? Or Could It Be “Footy Fun Ball”?

Coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic, one of my greatest hopes is that the collective joy at the beautiful game’s return forever silences the mind-numbingly pedantic “football vs. soccer” argument.

As an American media company, it’s inevitable that any piece of content we produce that takes off beyond these shores will eventually have the following top comment: “It’s football, not soccer.”

Idiotic Belarusian Premier League Is Now Just Creepy

Words can’t describe how I feel about the Belarusian Premier League. Trying to play through a pandemic is one thing but putting fake fans in the stadium to boost the atmosphere is a whole new low. FC Dynamo Brest does get some creativity points for how the club carried it out, but the Belarus mannequin situation is also pretty creepy.

Who Had The Better Dribble: Walcott vs. Hazard

Two of the fastest players to ever play in the English Premier League were Eden Hazard and Theo Walcott. Both players have tremendous dribbling abilities and the two showed off those skills on April 8. Hazard in 2019 and Walcott in 2008. The only question is: Who had the best run of Hazard vs. Walcott.

Hey Schalke, It’s Not The Fans’ Job To Bail Out Giant Football Clubs

We like to think of soccer as being special, with teams that are “more than a club” and inspire you to never walk alone. But during the novel coronavirus pandemic, soccer is being exposed as the disgusting fraud it is, one that leaches off its fans with no shame. 

The last few weeks have been tough for football fans around the globe. Soccer has ground to a halt as leagues quite rightly do all they can to prevent the spread of COVID-19, leaving viewers with no sports to watch and the athletes themselves cooped up inside like the rest of us.
