Football: inversão enfática com so + adjetivo (C2)
Consider what the game has to work with: a field, a ball, a rule against hands. From that poverty it has built something no state religion has managed in a century, which is a set of rituals that people who agree on nothing else will perform simultaneously, weekly, in ninety countries, and pass on to their children as a matter of course. ___ the ritual's hold that a man who has not knelt in a building since childhood will find himself on his knees at the edge of a pitch, in public, weeping, and afterwards will be unable to explain it and will not much want to. The sociologists have their accounts and the accounts are not wrong. Tribal identification, the licensed suspension of decorum, the scarcity of legitimate occasions for adult male grief. But something escapes the explanation. What the ninety minutes provide is a contest whose outcome genuinely is not known, in a life increasingly arranged so that very little is genuinely not known, and the value of that is almost impossible to overstate. Uncertainty has become a luxury good. The stadium is one of the last places licensed to sell it, and it sells out.
