When observing soccer from the outside-in, I can't help but wonder why I was never placed in a youth league as a child. Perhaps I showed no interest, or maybe even gave an attempt; just don't remember. Soccer is one of those sports that only requires some sort of ball and imagination. By yourself? Practice juggling the ball in place, or kick the ball against a wall.

Speaking of the ball. I'm not sure how it worked at your household, but at mine there was no shortage of sports balls around; tennis, basketball, football, etc. However, sharing a common problem; inflation! I'm not talking about cost of living, rather questioning why out of 10 different sports balls, all but 2 are partially inflated; but not playable! And even when the situation is assessed, and you find your ideal ball for inflation; the air needle is nowhere to be found! The amount of disappointment on an early summer morning was beyond comprehension.

For whichever reason, while playing Firekick! Multimax, the graphics in-game seemed to represent the era reminiscent of the 1990's. Which in turn sparked the memory of the movie Ladybugs. Ever seen it? Rodney Dangerfield? Young male dresses as a female to play on the team Dangerfield coaches? Good watch, assuming you can get past today's politics.

Speaking of memories; nothing but good one's at this machine. The game keeps you entertained with avalanching, or cascading symbols, that in-turn produce a wild after dropping in place. This also makes that reels multiplier increase until the additional cascading wins are over. Buy bonus feature is present per your wager criteria, and auto-spin is simple; but present. Overall, a good game with good dynamics. Just an average game for me; drop my last couple bucks in type of deal.

Back to soccer, but more importantly the "ball." If you ask anyone that is a sport enthusiast, almost any object that may be thrown or kicked, is fair game to become an epic part of a game winning shot of your choice. Clothes in the hamper? Kobe! Shoes in the corner? Ronaldo! Date Sporty Spice? Beckham! Just kidding; but you know what I mean. And given the opportunity to be faced with an actual ball, an actual net, and an actually goalie; priceless.
