Americans can only aspire to be as soccer crazed as some other countries.

According to Yahoo, a 25-year-old guy from Suzhou, China died over the weekend because he chose watching the World Cup over sleeping.

There's an 11-hour time difference between China and Brazil, so the games are on through the night in China.  The guy stayed up all night to watch on both Friday and Saturday.

Doctors think his death was most likely from sleep deprivation, possibly because it caused his body to shut down or have a heart attack.
