Football Scoreboard
A simple two-team scoreboard for football (soccer): tap +1 Goal for either side, track the score half by half, rename the teams, and correct the tally instantly if you misclick. Nothing you tap is sent anywhere — the score is saved only in this browser.
Frequently asked questions
Does this sync between two devices, e.g. both team benches?
No. The score lives only in your browser on the device you’re tapping on (see the privacy notice) — it never reaches a server. Whoever is keeping score should use a single device.
I tapped the wrong team by mistake — how do I fix it?
Tap −1 under that team to back the goal off, or tap directly on the score to type the exact correct number. The new number saves immediately.
Will I lose the score if I close the tab or my phone locks?
No — the score is saved to your browser’s local storage after every tap, so it’s still there when you reopen this page on the same device and browser. Clearing your browser data, using a private/incognito window, or switching devices resets it.
Can I rename the teams?
Yes — tap either team name field and type the real team names. They’re saved alongside the score and included in the copied final-score summary.
How do I start a new match?
Tap "Reset match" and confirm. There’s no undo, so only use it once the previous match’s result is recorded.
How does the half-by-half score work?
Tap "Next half →" when the first half ends. Goals you tap after that count toward the second half, and the total above adds both halves together. The breakdown table shows each half’s score separately, and it’s included in the copied final-score summary. The button disables itself after the second half — there’s no extra time or penalty-shootout tracking in this version.
Does this track anything beyond the score — cards, substitutions, time?
It now has an optional game clock and timeouts (below), but still no card tracking or per-player stats — deliberately not a full match-officiating tool.
How does the game clock work?
Set the half length in minutes, then tap "Start" to count down; "Pause" stops it, and it keeps the time you paused at. It’s a plain countdown — nothing happens automatically when it reaches 0:00, and it doesn’t advance the half for you. Tapping "Next half →" resets the clock to the full half length and pauses it, ready for you to start the second half yourself.
How do timeouts work?
Set how many timeouts each team gets and how long each one lasts, then tap "Timeout" under a team to start theirs — it automatically pauses the game clock. The timeout counts down on its own; when it ends, the game clock stays paused until you tap "Start" again. Only one team’s timeout can run at a time. Changing the timeout count or length mid-match doesn’t give back timeouts already used — only "Reset match" does that.
