    Hey,

    One of my favorite games related to football I used to play almost daily with friends was called Italienne or Brasilienne.

    Basically what you do is, one guy stands in the goal and 4-5 players have to try and score the goal inside by keeping it in the air and shooting from a certain distance.

    If you kick it normally you have to be about 5 meters away and the goalie would lose 1 life.

    If you kick it in with any other body part you can be as close as you want.

    The heel would lose the goalie 3 points;

    The knee would lose the goalie 2 points;

    Header also 2 points and butt would lose the goalie 8 or 5 points.

    If you miss or the goalie catches the ball with two hands, then you have to go into the goal.

    Once all the points or lives are gone, depending on how many minus points the goalie has, he will have to turn around and you can shoot the amount of minus points trying to aim for his butt.

    So if he has 0 lives left and you score with your heel, he would have -3 lives.

    This will let you shoot 3 times onto his butt (if you manage to hit).

    The person that has to be the goalie first is decided in the beginning. Basically everyone has to try and shoot the top bar of the goal. If you miss you're automatically the goalie unless someone else misses as well. Safest option would therefore be to just kick it flat in the goal (e.g. 1 point) hitting the top bar would be 10 points !

    Would love to hear if anyone else had a similar game!

    It's pretty fun and also rather chill if you don't feel like sweating a lot. Should try it out :)

    It's called rasteza in my country, but there are sure other names too. It comes from "rastezati" what stands for "stretching" as goalie is being stretched to many sides by multiple players who try to score. Points and rules vary, sometimes you can pass around only using head, sometimes ball must be on floor all the time and so on, but game always has that "turn around so we can kick your ass" :laugh:. We played it all the time as kids with goal drawn on wall as then there is no need to go to get the ball when you kick it hard, but miss the goal. :D

    Haha! Yea that's the most fun part!
    Interesting to hear about variations you had in your game! Where exactly are you from? As in, in what language does Rasteza mean stretching?

    It's funny how the same game has so many different names. Usually when I asked friends they would call it a different nationality but the most common were "Brazilian or Italian" due to their skillfull tricks they usually play on the field.

    That's in Croatian. It might be some called it like you say, but I grew up playing rasteza whenever there was not enough players for at least 5-a-side. :D

    That's the beauty of the game. You just need 3 players minimum
