We put together the 5 coolest football games for you to take a look at, including slots, online games and even board games (perfect for when the British Summer lets us down!)

Monopoly

Celebrate the sporting event of the year with this special 2018 World Cup edition. The rules are the same as the original game, travel round building stadiums buying teams whilst collecting Half Time and Full Time cards, making sure to avoid taxes, jail or bankruptcy.
