El fútbol es un juego, una pasión, una forma de agregación social, un negocio; y, por todo ello, también una eficaz herramienta de control sobre las masas. Gracias a su inigualable capacidad de crear mitos, a su épica intrínseca, este deporte ha sido explotado desde sus albores como arma de propaganda ideológica y, más recientemente, también comercial.
