A strange little side quest
A quick detour while Autoliiga waits for your next move: The first penalty shoot-out in World Cup history came in the 1982 semi-final between West Germany and France. There is another connection worth keeping in the same mental pocket: Basketball became an Olympic medal sport in 1936, while women’s basketball joined the Olympic programme in 1976. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Autoliiga feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
