Difficulty

• If you choose the normal line, it will be difficult to keep track of your line since there are multiple lines with the same design and color.
• At 41 - 50%, players could get distracted by a cyan line, and they might think that was the player.
• The teleportation part can be very confusing, so take caution.
• At 55%-79%, the player is shown on the TV, and the camera shows a lot of scenes could make you lose.

Strategy

• Don't choose the default skin. Instead, try using a line which doesn't change to a certain color, like the Snowball or the Chinese Brush.
• Focus on the music, especially the teleporting part and the audience's scene.

Trivia

• The gameplay in the beginning looks similar to the gameplay of the ending in Dream of Sky, due to there being multiple lines. Though, unlike Dream of Sky, in this level the lines have the same color.
• On 4th July 2018, the official Dancing Line Facebook page posted the soundtrack teaser for the level. The soundtrack can be viewed on YouTube in the official Dancing Line channel.
• Technically, The Football is the eighth level to have vocal accompaniment in the soundtrack (the chanting at the beginning, & the cheering of the audience). The first level to have vocal accompaniment is The Chaos (with opera).
• The Football is the fourth level in which the line uses teleportation. However, unlike the previous teleportation tactic of blacking the screen out, there are many cubes that appear on the screen (presumably replaced as football players) "kicking" the ball.
• Glitch: The dark-green line starting from 35% is not shown on Android 4. Players using it have to use guidance line, or it will be very difficult.
• The Football can be viewed as the first level to not feature the pyramid at the end. Rather instead, the line goes back inside the player entrance. The next would be The Faded Original.
  • Technically speaking, The Maze is the first level to not feature the pyramid at the end (if taking the "secret" route).
• The level is based on the World Cup, also known as a worldwide football tournament.
  • Depending on where you live, the term for football in the World Cup can be seen as having a completely different definition. (e.g. In the United States, many refer to football in the World Cup as soccer.)
  • Coincidentally, this level was released during the FIFA World Cup 2018 Event.
• Instead of following the line, the camera pans to a screen from 55%-79%.
  • On 55%, the camera stops following the line and switches to the audience worldwide up until 79%, offering a unique challenge.
• Many country flags throughout the world can be seen, all of which are participants in the 2018 World Cup.
  • You can't be able to see the flag for Saudi Arabia when playing on a 16:9 or on a small tablet; however, if playing on an iPad or a larger tablet, you can almost quite clearly see half of the flag.
• Much like the Dream of Sky update and The Christmas Eve update, the game was given a special offer of giving away a special skin, the Fireball.
  • Similarly to The Halloween update, the game was given a limited World Cup UI makeover.

• There are 19 Mobile Lines in this level, You have 1 teammate in the locker room, 6 more teammates that you go out on the field with, 11 opponents, and yourself
• If you're playing on widescreen, when you pass the second crown, then you can see the first crown on the left corner.
