A strange little side quest
One reason football keeps producing good game ideas around Football Heads: 2014-15 Champions League is that its history is full of strange turns. The first penalty shoot-out in World Cup history came in the 1982 semi-final between West Germany and France. The timeline takes another interesting turn: 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 Football Heads: 2014-15 Champions League feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
