When I discovered this game (thanks Raiscan) I immediately was pressured to knew that I had to TAS it (thanks Spikestuff).
This game is a platformer, with the unique gimmick of the protagonist David Beckham having a football which he can kick around in various ways in order to defeat enemies, collect items, and finish stages. It's also a decently fast paced game (after speed is upgraded during the second trial stage, at least) and the ball allows for all kinds of inventive moves and tricks to get past enemies.
The first WIP clears the three Trial stages (effectively, the tutorial).

A few notes:
Ground speed and air speed are normally equal, but after running on the ground for a while, Beckham starts to sprint, moving a bit faster. Thus, ground movement generally beats out air movement, at least for long ground sections. Annoyingly, this reduces a lot of playaround variety at times.
During the trials you are stopped a lot due to dialogue from guide/mentor Micky. Normally this stops Beckham in place, but by pausing right before hitting the dialogue trigger, it's possible to keep moving while the dialogue goes on.

<Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits
<adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.
Doomed us all.
...Was David Beckham just referred to as the chosen one?
Is the final boss Beckham vs Mourinho?
E; Also the first half a second expresses my feelings that this is a thing. (even if the gameplay does not look bad.)
