CalmDownTom take a look at a free to play match 3 game for the iPad
"World Soccer is a “match three” type game with a football theme from one man Indie studio Triple B Games. The game is played on the iPad and is split in half. The idea of world soccer is that you pick a national football team and start to match three objects from your area. You are playing against an opponent who is doing likewise. In between both of your playing areas is a wee football pitch complete with goalposts and twenty-two little itty bitty men and the better you play your match three game, the better your team will play football. The object is therefore to match three as best you can in order to help your chosen football team win. " says CalmDownTom
