World Cup : Types of Football/Soccer fans

With the group stages coming to a close. The Instagram followers of Neymar to the Facebook likes on Bastian Schweinsteiger page sheds some light on the fans who scream at them whilst they peer through a TV screen. The screamers in question can fundamentally, well realistically, vaguely can be categorically divided into 4 humane types. I must assure you, even though they seem like the folks descended from a MTV music video set, they are unequivocally the aliens, sorry humans among us.

1. Club whore - This poor chap loves the nation which has the majority of the players which makes up their respective clubs. Support here is a very fragile word. It's more like they live for this club. They have Posters, Photos, Scarfs, Jerseys. You name it they have it, flaunt it and do all kinds of things with it. Traditionally either they will support England or they will support Spain.

2. The Brazilian - The man who shares old Brazilian plays on Facebook. Yes, you , that's right we know, we all know that guy. They come out, well they came out when this Goliath of a sporting event started. The fastidious fascination towards Brazil during the World Cup started for them well either because they know two Brazil player or may be 5 who are long retired and now are immensely fat. That they even look ridiculous in a animated TV commercial. Yes,you know what i'm talking about Adidas. 
Or They just don't know much about the game and just want to play it safe. Like people who you know, know nothing about soccer/football yet state that they support Manchester United. It's them lot.

3. Old School - The silent assassins as I like to call them. They don't like a nation or a club during the bikini clad, WAG infested fest i.e the World Cup. But they adore the game which is synchronously beautiful. Where every pass, every player run is a flowing river caressing its way through the mountains into a beautiful sea. These lads think like a coach, they read the game, yell at the game. Well they do that most of the time as the teams they support usually has ridiculously slow players like Andrea Pirlo, well basically the entire Italy team. Whatever they do, they love the philosophy, the logic, the strategy and equally the WAG's 

4. Swingers -  If you find them, slap them after you read this. Their apparent "favorite" team is literally the best team in every single group!. It's like choosing from the Justice league. Well, bad reference they have Batman. He's just better than the rest. I mustn't digress !. Swingers, yes swingers cheer for every team yet watch nothing. They read the scores, memorize the teams and make arguments based on stuff posted on goal.com. Yes, Goal.com. These lot are more interested in some guys hairstyle than the way he scores. They don't like Ribery, because he doesn't look like a male model. He's too bad ass for them. However, they like, love! Rooney. Who looks like Shrek. Strange but true, go ask a swinger. 

So where do you fall into ?

Until the next one, do not think about Harley Quinn
