Fanxiety is the tension die hard soccer fans experience when watching their favorite teams take to the field in over 90-minutes of nonstop action. To alleviate fanxiety during the first-ever Leagues Cup, Coors Light is helping fans by upgrading a must-have staple in any soccer fans' wardrobe, the soccer scarf, to have the unique ability to keep fans chill…literally!
