isn’t this cool! haha…i was bored last night, so decided to do a few. this is a game my dad invented when he was a kid. its actually this triangular piece of cardboard, so you can actually shoot the ball by hitting the cardboard down hard and fast. last time my dad’s family was very poor, so to entertain himself, he came up with this game. he would pick up cigarette boxes, cut them up, and then design an entire soccer team with the soccer jerseys that he liked. but of course he didn’t have any fanciful markers like i have now, and had to use just normal colour pencils.
haha! last night my brother and i played a match–3 vs 3. and i won!

SO CUTE!
COOL!!!
The Israel player is the nicest…
This is very interesting. When I read the title I thought it was like the kind of eraser football I played in primary school. But this is a lot more interesting! Your dad is really inventive! Kudos to him!
Do the soccer players get injured a lot? (like if you hit them too hard.)
BTW, what did you use as goals?
yeah, i think my dad’s quite cool too. haha!
for goals i usually just mark like 2 lines there to indicate it. so usually we’ll clear the entire coffee table to use as the soccer field, and place the players in position. the players don’t move, the player nearest to the ball gets to shoot, so u really have to control direction n strength (which is really hard ><)
and yeah, the players lose their “strength” and get a little floppy after playing too much, so i have to make more!
