__init__ #100

Just a question pertaining to the use of the init python file. If its blank is it there just as a place holder?

Not just as a placeholder. Putting an init.py file in a directory makes that directory known as a package. So 'soccer' can now be imported as a package into code.

Also, any code in the init.py file will be executed when this package is imported. It's good convention to leave it as empty.
