About Authentic Football
Authentic Football aims to bring a more realistic feel to browser soccer. Control your team with passing, through balls, and timed shots. The game emphasizes positioning, build-up play, and finishing rather than arcade-style chaos. Matches feel closer to a sim: you need to create chances, defend as a unit, and take your opportunities. Graphics and animations lean toward a cleaner, more authentic look. If you like football games that reward patience and good decisions over button mashing, this one fits. Play against the CPU or a friend and try to win with style.
How to Play
Move with arrow keys or WASD. Use the pass button to play short or through balls, and the shoot button to strike on goal. Defend by moving into position and pressing tackle or intercept when the ball is near. Build attacks by passing instead of dribbling through the whole team. Time your shots—power and placement matter. Watch for runs and open players to create clear chances.
