There really is nothing like football. Your team's result each weekend affects the mood you find yourself is and nothing compares to the feeling of watching a last-minute winner fly into the top bins.
As Bill Shankly famously said, football isn't a matter of life and death - it is much more important than that. For example, a football-related argument between a Boca Juniors supporters and a River Plate supporter in Argentina ended up seeing someone's house getting burned down.
Ahead of the SuperClasico in December, the two fans in Misiones had a bit of beef and then before you knew it one was blazing the other's home because obviously that's the only logical end result.
Because of violence, the second leg of the Copa Libertadores final last year was played in Madrid and some Boca fans sacrificed work so they could make the trip to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Nicolas Mattera, a member of the Boca Juniors fan club, told Spanish publication MARCA about some of the stories behind one of the most explosive rivalries in football.
"I know people who have been divorced directly as a result of Boca. They were told 'it is Boca or me'," Mattera said.
"There are some who have literally offered us their car in exchange for the flight and entrance to the game. Many people have also left their job to follow Boca or been sacked. They were told they couldn't have the day off and could decide on work or Boca.
"As I said, there are so many stories. Some are giving up their entire life savings to buy tickets and ask to sleep in the gardens of houses."
Football, bloody hell.
