The 5 Worst Fans To Avoid At The World Cup In Brazil

If you’ll be watching the World Cup live in Rio de Janeiro, you’ll find five fan types to watch out for. Steer clear of these worst soccer fans, and you’ll find Brazil to be a beautiful and welcoming region:

Hooligans

Sometimes loyal fans’ fervor can boil over and become the overzealous behavior of football hooligans. Watch out for these guys, or you may be seeing the sights of Rio de Janeiro, like the iconic Christ the Redeemer, through a black eye.

The Civilian

Civilians have made the trek from their country to watch the home team compete. This crowd has a lot invested in the game after traveling hundreds or thousands of miles so they’re pretty serious about cheering.

Tag-A-Longs

Deceivingly friendly, you may be tempted watch the match in the company of a tag-a-long. Big mistake. Tag-a-longs don’t care about soccer, but are along for the ride. This species of attendee will pester you with questions and announce everything not related soccer while you’re trying to watch.

The Know-It-All

On the opposite side of the spectrum of the tag-a-long, you’ll find the know-it-all. Equally as talkative, the know-it-all will provide running commentary and World Cup fun facts, whether their information is correct or not.

Negative Nancy

Eeyore has more faith in his soccer team than a negative Nancy does. Although characterized by a gloomy disposition, the negative Nancy remains a loyal fan. Even if they believe the refs are all rooting for the opposing team, the coach should be replaced and the players aren't dependable.
