Is Football Like Worship?

I go a church where grown men stand and sing together loudly. Sometimes they raise their arms when they sing. Sometimes they clap, cheer or even do a funny little dance. They express strong emotion. Sometimes grown men cry. They pray for Divine intervention. It is passionate. It matters to them.
Does it sound familiar? I have watched football fans from around the world behave in a similar manner during the World Cup. They express themselves. They sing. It matters.
Is there a difference? It all depends on the object of your worship...
