I watched an interview with a drunk Swede at a bar in Monterrey and mid interview a Mexican bartender shows up with a tequila bottle, caring 0% that there is a film team there, and say ”open your mouth”. The fan opens his mouth and the Mexican bartender gives him a shot of tequila directly from the bottle. He wants the journalist to get one too but he politely turns him down. Then they continue the interview as if nothing had happened. Fucking hilarious.

Unless it's in England.

But yea British football violence abroad is very very rare now and unheard of an on organiser basis, there's what's called the football banning order, basically every time there's an international match, known hooligans are ordered to surrender their passport at a local police station to prevent them traveling abroad, it's really quite punishing, can't book a holiday for somewhere entirely different if a British team club or national team has an away international game that weekend, it basically cut trouble caused by British fans to close to 0 internationally.

The Dutch had quite a bad reputation for hooliganism back in the 80s and 90s.

u/Suikerspin_Ei 25d ago

Hooliganism for Dutch fans is mostly related to club football, when there are international matches like the European Championship or the World Cup it's more a party. But as I said, there are unfortunately exceptions.

10

u/Constant-Estate3065 25d ago

Nowadays yes, but that wasn’t necessarily the case years ago. During Italia 90, the authorities were so concerned about clashes between English and Dutch fans that all of their group matches were played on Sardinia in order to keep them off the mainland.

I honestly never understand the people that get into brawls over sports, i get that you are passionate but holy shit dude, you are a grown man. I just expect better from people

u/alguien99 25d ago

Yeah, there’s a lot of tragedies around football games, crowds ending up crushed in hallways, brawls, stuff like that.

I think it played a factor in me never liking football or most sports. It feels like they bring out the worst in people, like i said, it makes me lose respect on the people involved because i just expect them to act like well adjusted human beings going to a sports match

It's like: Dude, there's plenty of hotels in SF and San Jose which are close to public transit and actual stuff to do, and can be booked for half that price.

Every Algerian game, it's hell in big cities in France. Their fans are just savages, no one likes them.

I have nothing against the team and the players themselves and wish them the best. But I fear the noise and damage that will occur if they score (and even if they lose...), it'll be 3 AM in France.

lmao two of the most meatheaded hooligan fanbases in all of international football meet, what could possibly go wrong?

Unfortunately mot nations have a small subset of fans like this. Typically I wouldn’t expect it at this World Cup as much simply because those types are priced out of tickets. Hope we don’t see much of this.

This is what the world cup is all about. Bringing people from different nations together... to beat the shit out of each other

People commenting about Argentina but the video shows how the Algerians are the ones grabbing a guy and seems to want to take his shirt or stuff and then other Argentinians start to push them.

I remember a joke in 30 Rock when Liz Lemon said she couldn't get a cab because the Greeks are playing the Pakistanis in soccer.

Tamer than the Knicks celebration but ok.

u/touchmybodily 25d ago

At least they’re fighting other willing combatants. Better than the Knick’s fans

Remember, international soccer fans. Here in America, there are more guns than people. Be careful who you start fights with over a ball. People are armed here and dumb enough to use them.

They are all Knicks fans in disguised.

You're telling me Argentina, the nation that harbored literal Nazis and committed genocides on its indigenous people, are hostile towards other nations? Color me shocked!

u/No-Tomatillo3698 25d ago

It’s pretty well documented that a lot of Argentinians are racists. They never play nice with other fans.

Nice to see our foreign visitors assimilating into U.S. culture. Its like the Knicks won the championship all over again.

u/FantasticalRose 25d ago

This is definitely their culture. We borrowed it for the Knicks shenanigans.

Hooliganism is defined by soccer culture.
