The increasing stress pertaining to the Football World Cup matches could possibly result in heart attacks, say health experts. According to the assumption that leads to cause a stroke in football followers, is when they get excited whilst watching causing an overexertion.

It is not only the match that cause the stress factor to rise but at the same time it is the nail-biting moments that contribute the same effect. It was a shocking moment when German Doctor Ute Wilbert-Lampen, witnessed nearly
4,279 heart attacks in or around Munich after the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany.

The result becomes a back-burner when it comes to the stress and tense moments of the match, the doctor told Daily Star. Professor Hoosen Vawda, of the South African KwaZulu-Natal University, advised fans to enjoy the match to the fullest but in the right spirit of sportsmanship, not losing life for it.
