A strange little side quest
Before the next round of Football Master Html5, here is a piece of the bigger picture. The first penalty shoot-out in World Cup history came in the 1982 semi-final between West Germany and France. A second detail makes the picture even better: Alexey Pajitnov created Tetris in 1984 after drawing inspiration from pentomino puzzles, then simplified the idea around shapes made from four squares. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Football Master Html5 feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
