Soccer Question 8
It Happened in 1963 - 1963 was an amazing year for football (soccer in the US). Which of the following happened in 1963?
The correct answer is 'Lev Yashin became the only goalkeeper in the 20th century to win the European Footballer of the Year Award'
Football fans will have found this question easy if for no other reason than 1963 is an odd year, and therefore they would have realized it could not have been a World Cup year! England won the World Cup in 1966, and Pelé starred in the Mexico World Cup in 1970. Nike? It didn't even exist in 1963 and has never been a dominant force in football footwear, despite attempts to enter that market.
In my opinion, Lev Yashin was one of the most incredible athletes ever, in any sport. At least I can claim he set the modern standard for goalkeeping. Known as the "Black Panther" for his incredible reflexes, which permitted him to make impossible stops, and his black outfits, Yashin invented new and useful ways to kick the ball away from the penalty area.

Soccer Question 9
Soccer Basics - Soccer is a contact sport.
The correct answer is 'True'
You can make contact with other players as long as it's not a foul. For example, you can slide tackle, but you must hit the ball. If you hit an opponent's legs without ball contact, that will be considered as a foul.
