  4. "That shit ain't the truth" Well the allusion to war is, but you didn't take your "wayback machine" way back enough. As soccer could be seen as reflecting the kind of ritualized warfare that is often seen among tribal people where there is a lot of posturing and running back and forth with only occasional clashes, and very little actual violence, football is a reflection of the classic Greek type of warfare wherein there is a head on violent clash of opponents.
