A strange little side quest
Soccer Heads has plenty of company in a long tradition of players chasing timing, patterns and better decisions. Association football's first unified Laws of the Game were drawn up in London in 1863. There is another connection worth keeping in the same mental pocket: 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 Soccer Heads feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
