Ellis Rimmer Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 We called it cuppies, I suspect that's derived from couples but we most often used to play cuppy singles, anyway the game was that it would be every man for themselves shooting into one net, if you scored you would go through to the next round. Each round would eliminate the player that didn't score. Probably everywhere called it a different name, anyway. Also no shots in the 6 yard box. Anyway the worlds 30 best players on the pitch + Callum Paterson. The arena is Wembley stadium, I'm putting Keiran Westwood in net. Who wins? (some dodgy Allen Stanford type businessman is funding it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latemodelchild Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 We could set up a wall at the other end of the stadium and play a game of SPOT after. Double the fun. Never played cuppies though myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double the fun. Never played cuppies though myself. what did you call a pile on of kids all just shooting into 1 net? The first few rounds are ripe for the poachers As the numbers dwindle down advantage would go for quicker players who would be first to the ball from a goal kick, and those that can shoot long Centre halves would likely be the first to be eliminated I reckon winner would be a quicker player, who can beat a man, but would need a bit of strength - I'm going Ronaldo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0742 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Yeah we called it Wembley too. I'd go for Haaland to win it. When it gets down to the last 2-3, you still need to defend a bit if you don't get to the ball, Ronaldo would get skinned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is fastest, Haaland or Ronaldo? in the final you're looking at Westwood kicking the ball out with 2 men left, advantage would be to whoever was nearest or if Westwood went long who would be quickest to the ball. From there the player has to beat his opponent and then score the one on one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Knockout Wembley Jumpers for goalposts Playing until it went dark Extra challenging playing in wellies Worst player or somebody’s younger brother in net.

HighworthOwl Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 World cup knockout! Games would last hours. Heads and volleys was always a classic too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo89 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Was cuppies when I was growing up. Loved a game of heads n volleys as well. Always an argument when someone scores a half volley and the rules beforehand hadn't mentioned half volley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Henderson Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 One-a-side cuppies if there were three of you, two-a-side if you could manage five, although it was usually just two playing one-kick against a walk. Now that was a game. The only thing we called Wembley was the ball, the king of footballs, heavy, dimpled and orange. Not the cheap black and white floaty air balls.

Putney Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 World Cup doubles The goal was quite big where we played due to the design of the brick wall outside the sports hall. Key was getting shots off as the keeper was never going to dive on concrete. Messi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatfordOwl Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Wembley for the knockout game, 1 goal and you're through until the final which was 2 to win. Headers and volleys growing up in Hull was called 10 down - basically if you scored 3 in a row you could move up a position and promotion, whereas if you missed you lost one place immediately. Used to waste hours in Meersbrook park playing against the fences there, doubt I'd last 5 minutes now - like all things in life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latemodelchild Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Just remembered, we played a game called 3 and in. Was like headers and volleys but when you'd scored 3 you went in tbe net and it started again. I hated going in the net so used to let every shot in.

Pablo Bonvin Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Used to play Wembley at playtime in school against the wall. Didn’t have 6 yard boxes or anything like that so there was always someone bog-lining who went through to the next round. Usually it was me in fact…… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
