Watching your favorite team playing is the most satisfying thing about Football. But what’s coming after that? A football video game. While there are plenty of great video games on consoles and PC, if you have a smartphone or a tablet, app stores are evolving the last couple of years with a big library of football games.

I found the best ones among hundreds, and all of them are free to play on both platforms, Android and iOS.
