Soccer, football, the beautiful game, or “22 guys in shorts running after a ball.” There are many ways to refer to what, for many, is the best sport in the world. With the World Cup 2014 in full throttle, soccer will be on everyone’s mind during the next month.

Not just playing on the field, however, one of the best ways to play soccer is as a video game. From Pele’s Soccer (Atari, 1981), which is considered the first soccer video game in history, to the upcoming FIFA 15, there are a ton of games that have come out on platforms ranging from consoles, to regular old computers, to now, more than ever, mobile devices.

Here, I’ll show you some of the best soccer games for mobile devices that can help curb your enthusiasm for the sport in-between matches.

FIFA 14

FIFA 14
The mobile version inherits all the benefits of the console version, and is arguably the best mobile installment from FIFA that’s been launched to date.

The playability is unquestionable, the controls have been improved, and the variety of official licenses and championships is overwhelming, not to mention that its free! Well, it’s sort of free– you can play Ultimate Team mode for free, but you have to pay to access the other modes.

Real Football 2013

If there’s a game that can can knock on FIFA 14’s door and say “Hey, I’m here!”, it’s Real Football 2013, a soccer simulator that’s completely different.

I can say that the 2013 version is a change from previous versions. Real Football 2013 has put all its efforts into linking soccer to the business side, although doing so at the expense of the simulation itself. As with FIFA 14, Real Football 2013 is also free, although every so often, the game will try to get you to spend money.
