Football is NOT only a game. It's a war substitute. Advantages over the original are that vastly fewer people get killed at football matches.

Football is political as well - I seem to remember some war in South America was kicked off following a football international between the two countries, and it is believed that the turning point at which the break-up of Yugoslavia became inevitable was during a Dynamo Zagreb home loss.
It is also a minor religion, with devotees and rituals to rival any other. Mor epeople attend live football than Church in England - but then we are a pretty agnostic bunch as a whole.
Then there's football as an industry. Most major clubs are now Plc.s.
Lastly football is a narcotic, and there aren't any "patches" to ease that craving!
