AS IF there's not enough football and football related activities for you to get stuck in to at the moment, Facebook has an aptly timed new hidden game.

The game within its Messenger app, challenges you to a difficult yet addictive game of keepie uppie.

Like with the basketball game, start a conversation with a friend or a group, and send the football emoji in the conversation.

When you tap the football, the game will begin. 

You have to keep the ball in the air by tapping it, so far I've only managed two... but I was much better on the basketball game - I managed to get to 35.

And other uses who have done much better than me have warned the game gets harder after you get past ten points, as distractions are thrown in.
