United Kingdom (English: UK - United Kingdom) is the 13th character in Head Soccer. He was added in Update 1.1, along with France. United Kingdom is considered to be a great character, and he is also a 5 Star Character in Arcade.
Playing style
The United Kingdom plays defensively. He doesn't always use his Power Shot where it is most effective, as usual, but mostly he does, due to his defensive playing style.
Appearance
United Kingdom has blond hair, a blond mustache and black eyebrows. He has a crooked nose and a scowling, angry face, deep in concentration. His appearance has changed a bit since when he was first included. It may have been inspired by Eagle from the Street Fighter series.
Power Shot: Hawkeye Shot
United Kingdom's Power Shot is the "Hawk-Eye Shot." First, he shoots a total of 11 red laser-arrows vertically in the air, and then they come back in the screen and they travel in a diagonal path towards the opponent's goal. The first 10 arrows don't contain a ball but they make it impossible for the opponent to jump, and very difficult to dash forward and block the ball. The last laser has the ball but has the same effect as all other arrows. The shot is hard to counter, and it deals massive damage that can hardly be avoided if the opponent wants to block it.
This power shot lasts 4s.
Costume
United Kingdom doesn't wear a standard costume.
Unlock Requirements
To unlock United Kingdom you must win a Tournament and only concede 4 goals or less, or unlock him for 1,200,000 Points.
Tips and Tricks
The Hawkeye Shot can only score directly if United Kingdom uses it on his own side of the field, but not in his own penalty area, preferably, just behind the center circle. To successfully block the shot, one must dash forward, away from the lasers, and dash back when the last laser comes to block the ball. It is also possible to counter this shot by kicking the last laser, but this is very hard to do. Whether you want to counter or just block it, it's always better to jump while doing it. This can also work with India's air shot.
