There was an actual Soccer War conflict. It was a war fought between Honduras and El Salvador, which was said to have been caused by El Salvador severing diplomatic relations with Honduras as a result of unsportsmanlike behaviour from the fans during the World Cup qualification play-offs between Honduras and El Salvador. However, it was more likely due to illegal immigration by the Salvadoreans into Honduras that got the ball rolling.
Also, this comic strip and its title is a reference to the Soccer Mode Event in World of Tanks. In Soccer Mode, the objective for the tanks is to blast the ball into the opposing side's goal. Like in real soccer, the side that has the highest score when time runs out wins. But if time runs out and the match ended in a draw, extra time will be added.
