I really enjoy playing soccer when I can play with the feeling of empathy/connection with everyone out there- of course it helps we're just a random group that play pick-up every week, we chat/joke and you're as likely to play together as against any individual from week to week- but it is fun to feel like you're almost dancing together as you play, like the competiton creates these beautiful moments of passes strung together thru the opponents or a beautiful diving save- you couldn't create those moments without the context of competitive efforts, but somehow as a whole it is really cooperative playfulness
sorta like seeing economics/free markets creating efficiency out of individual selfish competition (in the right circumstances)
