Soccer : Evolution

Soccer Evolution

Soccer is a multi-billion dollar industry. I dare to say that football in some countries has an impact on the econlomy, such is the fanatism of a game which seems to permeate the minds, the hearts of people. While soccer is steeped in tradition it is not immune to change. Rule changes have been implemented in the past and they have worked well. Take for instance, the no back pass rule to the goakeeper.
