A strange little side quest
Pet Soccer belongs to a much longer story of play than a browser tab might suggest. The first penalty shoot-out in World Cup history came in the 1982 semi-final between West Germany and France. The surprising part is how quickly the next milestone followed. Basketball became an Olympic medal sport in 1936, while women’s basketball joined the Olympic programme in 1976. So a round of Pet Soccer is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer football timeline.
