Penalty Questions

What the game is

Pick Easy, Medium or Hard, then answer ten football questions. Every one you get right earns you a penalty against the keeper; every one you get wrong costs you the kick.

Drag back from the ball, pull to the side to bend it, and let go. Goals pay coins, and coins buy a better penalty taker — more power, tighter accuracy, more curl and a steadier nerve — along with boots, kits and a shirt number.

How to take a penalty

• Drag backwards from the ball. The further you pull, the harder you hit it.
• Pull to one side to aim across the goal, and further back to lift it.
• Curve the path of your drag to bend the ball around the keeper.
• Let go to shoot. The keeper commits the moment you do and cannot change their mind.

Things people ask

The keeper went the right way and I still scored. That is meant to happen. A hard shot into the corner can beat a keeper who guessed correctly, which is what Power and Accuracy are for.

My shot went under the keeper and it was a goal. If the keeper sprang high for a ball down the middle, they are off the ground and the ball goes underneath.

Do I lose my coins if I stop halfway through a match? No. Coins are banked the moment each penalty goes in.
