I recently had the chance to play a Java-based football game that is currently a work in progress. The game's graphics are simple and two-dimensional which means no Open GL. The game allows you to play in either a classic Top or Side view which can be selected from the beginning.

Additionally, you can choose between eight teams and decide whether you want to play against AI or watch AI compete against each other. Another exciting feature is that the game allows you to select the pitch type. Choose from plain, stripes, chess, circles, and even winter settings.

As far as customization goes, you can select the half length too, in seconds. I found this feature quite handy since it allowed me to customize the game to suit my needs. Perhaps one of the best things about this game is that you can access the source code.

At the time of my review, the game had eight teams available: Argentina, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. This limitation may be a downside for some, but I found it to be enough since each team has its unique strengths and weaknesses.

Overall, while the game is still a work in progress, I enjoyed it and its various features. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a simple yet entertaining football game.
