Netsoccer is a Multiplayer Online Soccer game. Each gamer controls a player, not a team as is common in most Soccer games. You can join different teams and have matches aginst other teams or you can just have a practice match online. It is particularly popular in Finland and Portugal. As of May 16th,2006 it features 6,000 players and 950 teams.
Each player has their own stats - goals and assists. If a player scores during a 5 vs 5 or more server, a goal is added to their tally, and if a player passes to someone who then scores, an assist is added to their tally. Some people have reached several hundred goals and assists.

Teams

To create a team, a player simply clicks on the ’statscenter’ button and then clicks ‘Create Team’. Any registered users can do this - a logo can be added to the team’s page by emailing the developer (QPRocky) with details of the team, founder and a copy of the logo. There is no limit to how many players are in a team, but few teams have more than 10 players - players can join a team if they are invited by the founder. Some teams create their own servers, some public, some private. Teams are more often than not based from a website, where they can meet and arrange matches with other websites - MSN Messenger also helps with this. There have even been national teams suggested.
