| dc.description.abstract | This chapter is written on account of some critical observations that I made during the CAF organized Africa Cup of Nations held early 2008 in Ghana . The focus of this work is on perceptions of some football fans regarding God and religion (in general) in the game of football. Thus, while exploring the issues of religion, reason and philosophy in the game, the chapter also seeks to deny the idea held by the fans that God does function as a football referee. | en_US |
