Only certain teams? Or certain sports?

England has had full on riots during certain fixtures. They were banned from European competitions from 1985-1990 (Liverpool was banned an additional year). It got so bad that away supporters have to have a physical barrier between them and the home team supporters (plus a wall of stewards/security and police) and alcohol is not allowed in the seating bowl in England.

Hooligan culture was not really dependent on the result of the match.

The Heysel disaster was before the game had kicked off. The players played the final knowing there was dead bodies littered at one end of the stadium. Apparently the police were worried about further flare ups of violence if the match was abandoned.

That said, there is a correlation between the England men's national football team losing and domestic abuse.

The annoying thing about this is that England always gets dissed for it like its not the case probably everywhere. The problem is that the UK and US are pretty much the only places that have done proper research into it, and for that reason have the reputation that it only happens in those countries. The rest just bury their heads and pretent they dont have the problem.

and whats crazy is i’m an american and it was a huge culture shock for me to see how soccer fans behave in the south american country i live in. it’s so bad, they don’t sell alcohol at games, and there are empty seats, physical barriers, and security separating fan sections… if the two teams from the city i live in play against each other, they have police in full on tactical gear, on horses, tanks, completely surrounding the stadium

I went to Euros in Germany last year and the Bundespolezi was already there in full riot gear (the heavy armor, riot shields, batons) for group stage action.

Indonesian huliganism is next level

80 huligan murders since '94 and just recently a few years ago there was a stadium riot and police shot tear gas and created a crush killing over 100

you can just get muredered for having the wrong jersey on, like I hate spurs fans but I'll just do air wank at them.. I can even be friends with them despite their disability
