Not only did Morley's creation of the laws of the game affect England, but it also influenced other countries. Each country that currently plays soccer has created a soccer association for their country. For example, the United States founded a soccer association in 1913. Although each association is a little bit different because of where they are located and the geography of each country, they still used rules based on what Morley created.
Countries also benefit from the creation of soccer. For example, each World Cup brings in billions of dollars worth of revenue. During the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, Brazil's government brought in 7.2 billion dollars in tax revenue. Not only do countries make money but organizations like FIFA also makes money from selling their products. Sometimes FIFA will then help out with organizations to support cancer research that affects people all over the world. Players are also generous people who will donate some of their salary to charities of their own to help the less fortunate people of their country.
The economy of Brazil benefited greatly from the previous World Cup. In the chart below you can see that the government spent about 10 billion dollars on the World Cup. Now you might be thinking, Brazil's government only made 7.2 billion in sales tax revenue and had to spend 10 billion to support the World Cup. But if you do the math, Brazil's tax is about 19% so 7.2 billion divided by 19% equals 37.9 billion dollars made by the entire country of Brazil. Therefore, the stores, hotels, ticket sales, and more brought in about 37.9 billion dollars, which helps the economy a lot.

Morley's legacy of standardizing the rules allowed teams and countries in Europe to compete against each other. It later caught on with other countries and all of the countries started to compete against each other. This created tournaments like the World Cup that bring in loads of money for businesses in the hosted country.
