Emotions play a major role in both sports. Both on the athletes\’ and fans\’ sides. When championships and Olympics are held, almost the entire country is excited about field hockey, and women cheer as much as men. In soccer, the enthusiasm is more lukewarm and the track record is much less successful. Both sports are goodbusiness. Bettors get jerseys, scarves, and other items, and prices are much higher.
