"Watching football really does have its risks. For us, watching the World Cup and the European Championship usually doesn't involve much attachment to a particular team, so we don't worry too much about our team being eliminated. However, some fans love to gamble and often place bets while watching the game. The outcome and number of goals become directly related to us. If the match goes the way we bet, then we are naturally very happy. But if things go the opposite way, we often get nervous...
For those with heart conditions, this kind of tension increases the risk. Many fans watch these matches late at night, and at this time, the heart is most vulnerable. If they get too excited, it can be quite dangerous for those with underlying health issues. Every time there's a major tournament, there are news reports of people dying suddenly from watching the games, and this is likely the reason.
So for fans with underlying health conditions, it's better to avoid staying up late to watch the matches. Watching the replay the next day is a good alternative, especially for those with health issues. They should definitely avoid betting while watching the game, as this increases the stress on the heart significantly. Of course, those who are more carefree might not feel this pressure. Alternatively, one could take a nap before the match and then get up to watch it. Another important point is that drinking ice-cold beer in the middle of the night can also be harmful, so one should be cautious about that as well!" |
