Advantage/disadvantage is to some degree used in every sport in which the ball or puck is contested (as opposed to tennis/golf/bowling etc.). It is the only way to efficiently play the game. There is much that goes on that is considered incidental to the game in order to allow a smooth flow. Soccer is much more explicit in its use of ad/disad, but all sports will employ it.
Every well reffed game is in part that way because of effective use of this concept.
