A toy ball game with play mechanism

The invention relates to a toy ball game comprising a horizontally extending playface and having a play mechanism in the form of a toy figure arranged in such position on the playface that it protrudes thereabove and is arranged for being flexed away from a neutral position and by spring force revert to that neutral position whereby a face on the mechanism is able to transmit energy to a ball in order to cause the ball to move away from the mechanism and across the playface. The play mechanism is able to rotate about a vertical axis to enable the toy figure to face in the direction of his kick. From the mechanism an arm protrudes transversally and it is arranged to perform, in response to an influence exerted vertically by a finger, a flexing of the mechanism away from its neutral position. A face on the mechanism has a concave shape that matches the ball thereby allowing the ball to remain steadily positioned in contact with the concave face which means that the ball will always be positioned in front of the figure.
