A strange little side quest
The next time Football Heads: 2013-14 Bundesliga asks for one more try, remember that game ideas rarely appear from nowhere. The penalty kick entered football's laws in 1891 and was nicknamed the 'kick of death' in its early days. The timeline takes another interesting turn: 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 Football Heads: 2013-14 Bundesliga feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
