Game overview
Head Ball Soccer 2021 is a duel between two oversized characters on a tiny pitch, where a header, a body check and a special ability are all legitimate ways to win the ball. Nothing about it resembles real football, and that is the design: matches are decided in seconds by who used their power at the right moment, and possession changes hands constantly.
