Facebook Soccer Game Bola Scores, But Needs To Train More

Social sports games have never really taken off on Facebook. We’ve never been entirely sure why, but some theories include the prospect that most people that might be interested are not your average Facebook user, or at least social game player. So we got interested when the soccer application Bola, from Playdom-owned Argentinean developer Three Melons, reached near 2 million monthly active users recently.

Perhaps it is because soccer is the most widely watched sport in the world — and because the World Cup is happening this summer — but the success may also be due in part that the game doesn’t quite feel like a typical sports game.
