Buzzword: The term "12th man" is used to refer to the fans of a soccer team. Each team in soccer has 11 players on the pitch, but if the fans are particularly loud, they can help their team. When this happens the fans are called the 12th man - they have the effect of an extra player, and the game is now 11 versus 12. Many teams refer to their fans as the 12th man, and fans themselves will also carry banners bearing the title.
