Fan comes from fanatic, obviously, but you haven't seen true FANATICS until you see die hard soccer fans. They're ****ing nuts, bro.
Check out the 30 for 30 called 'The Two Escobars,' if you haven't seen it already. It involves Andres Escobar, a Colombian soccer player, who scored an own goal during the World Cup, and Pablo Escobar. They lost the game and he was murdered by one of Pablo Escobar's guys. The 30 for 30 has a ton more information about that and soccer fans, IIRC.
Enjoy your lame ass soccer, the sport of the poor.
