game vs tournament

What's the difference between game and tournament in the context of soccer?

Here in Vienna, there's plenty of fervor throughout the soccer game/tournament.
Thanks in advance.

A tournament is a type of event where the opponents compete against one another in a head to head fashion, i.e. only two opponents (or teams of opponents) compete against each other at any one instant. At each stage one of the opponents is eliminated while the successful opponent proceeds to the next stage to meet a successful opponent from another branch of the competition, and so on and so forth

Thanks, Huevos. By the way, a tournament is also referred to as a competition right?

Yes, tournaments are a type of competition, but, not all competitions are tournaments.
