They authorized laws and added more to the game to make it to what it is now,for example the penalty kick wasn't always the way it was.It started by having 5 seconds time limit to score and starting from the middle of the pitch.Sort of like ice hokeys penalty kicks where they have 5 seconds to score.Another example is the use of red and yellow cards which was introduced to the game during around the 1960s.
