Yes , it is like that , However we can make Comparisons that are very analogous with what happens in the world , some people see football as if it were wars between countries, they want to know which is the best Country, that's how they see it, and what potential they have, that's how sometimes some people see Football.
When participating in a football competition, players take a variety of factors into consideration. Whether or not the players approach the game as a war is heavily influenced by the competition, the prize, and the honour that winning can bring to them as a player, the football club, or the country as a whole.
This is normal to me, which is why there are rules in the game to prevent players from going too far and causing damage to other players. In fact, the beauty of the game lies in its rules.
The rules make football entertaining because they try to keep the sport from becoming a war zone and promote sportsmanship, where players, regardless of competition, can recognize the importance of love and passion.
