Soccer (or foot-to-ball for everyone not in the US of A) is coming to Free Realms.  Did I say coming?  I meant, it's already here!  That's right, Goal Time is now available in the game.  What does it bring to the Free Realms table?

It was announced as an arcade-style, fast-paced addition to the game that allows to tackle, dodge, charge up kicks and more.  There are six full sets of clothing and gear, three themed fields to play on, and the ability to play 3 on 3 with friends or in one of 15 scenarios.

This add-on is free for all players up to level 5, but is Members Only (like the jacket!) from there on up to level 20.  Enjoy all of the wonderful Free Realms Goal Time screens and even a video of it in action below.  Click to about the one minute mark to see some in-game footage.

WHAT:
