Tifosi (pronounced [tiˈfoːzi]) is an Italian word that means "fans." And to describe a group of supporters, especially in sports. Tifosi is used for a mixed gender or an all-male group; masculine singular tifoso, feminine singular tifosa, feminine plural tifose.
The word is mainly used to describe fans of clubs in football. Apart from the many local fan clubs in Italy whose main role is (for example) to provide a meeting place for fans and friends and organize away trips, since the late 1960s many Italian fans rely on organized stadium groups known as Ultras. The main goal is to choreograph fan support with flags, banners, coloured smoke screens, flares, drums, and chanting in unison. For most teams city rivalries, colours, coat of arms, symbols, and the overall iconography have roots in the Middle Ages and early Renaissance. As the chosen names of most organized groups, the youth of most members, and the late 60s origins may suggest, the social trend is best understood as part of the popular culture that centres around the year 1968.
Tifosi (also known as Fans) is a 1999 Italian comedy film directed by Neri Parenti.
The film consists of four segments. The Roman Cesare, a supporter of Lazio, hates to death the Interist Carlo, even if their children fall in love. Silvio, a supporter of Milan, finds himself involved in a match in the company of peasants fans of A.S. Roma. The hooligan "Zebrone", a supporter of Juventus, faces three representatives of a rival football team, who intend to steal the scarf that Zebrone has received as a gift from a footballer. The thief Gennaro meets the legendary Diego Maradona in his villa in Naples during a match between Napoli and Atalanta.
I said man, can you help me out?
Bring me back to love
Bring me back to life
Oh why should I care?
I said how, could you keep me out?
Without a wish to share
So without a doubt
Oh why should I care?
Well we have been warned
It's a classic sign
It's a wicked mind
With an axe to grind
Oh when is it our, our turn
So why should we care, care, care?
Yeah we have been warned
It's a classic sign
Why should we care?
If this is our last summer
Oh then why should we care?
If this could be our last summer
