A strange little side quest
Put 3D Free Kick: World Cup 18 next to the history of football and a few unexpected connections appear. Association football's first unified Laws of the Game were drawn up in London in 1863. That is only half the story. Archery was already on the Olympic programme in 1900, boxing joined the modern Games in 1904, and basketball became a medal sport in 1936. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at 3D Free Kick: World Cup 18 feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
