If you’re an owner of an Apple iPad and you’ve been searching for great soccer apps to check out, here are five of my favorites:

Score!

Score! is one of the best soccer apps out there with a wide range of memorable goals to reenact on your iPad. From the 1980’s to the Euros, or even goals from legends, Score! gives you the option to score some of the most iconic goals in world soccer history.

Flick Kick

Flick Kick is a fantastic app for any competitive soccer-lovers. With an option to play online as well as single player, you can curl in some of the best freekicks possible. The aim is in the name — to flick the ball on the screen round the wall and into the goal. There are a wide range of game modes in single player mode, such as arcade, bullseye, skillshot or, for those of who like to challenge themselves, time attack. Whilst you face the goal, it’s your decision whether you want to bend it over the wall, try and drill it in, or even fool the goalkeeper with curl. Flick Kick is $1.99.
