1. Heart attacks – Football fans are very passionatewhen it comes to the sport. But some fans take it to heart, literally. In astudy done after the Germany World Cup, it was revealed that the number ofheart attacks spiked every time the German team played a match!

3. Depression – The higher you get, the harder thefall. And football fans can get really high on their love of the game. Too badthere can be only one winner in a match. Because for some, a loss for theirteam can lead to actual clinical depression.
4. Stress – Oh the suspense of watching yourfavourite team duke it out on the pitch. Unfortunately, no matter how loud youcheer, you don’t really have any control over the outcome.

6. Susceptible to advertising – Don’t think the adsthey show during your team’s matches work on you? Well, think again. Turns outthe more exciting the match, the more likely fans are to recollect thecommercials shown. Maybe not a danger to you, but certainly to your wallet.
