It retains the same gameplay as previous Score! titles, with passes made and shots taken by dragging your finger across the screen.

Sky Sports Super 6
A firm favourite in the Magpie office, the concept of Super 6 is simple: predict the scores of 6 football matches. You get 2 points for every correct results and 5 points for every correct scores, with a perfect set of predictions winning a huge cash prize.
You’re unlikely to win that though, so the best thing to do is set up a league with some mates and duke it out to prove you’re the biggest football Nostradamus of them all.
