What is in context the subculture in foodball?
Tribal attitudes left over from a pre-civilisation era. All countries around the world have this element of football hooligans. So far various FA’s around the world have been working to clampdown on their activity. In England at least football hooliganism is nowhere near as prevailant as it was in the late 1970’s and 1980’s. It’s very simple. One set of thugs who use the excuse of following the same football team, get together and fight with another set of hooligans from another team who share the same mindset. They use the team they support as a way of separating themselves from others as a perfect excuse, in their minds at least, to kick seven bells out of other people, be they hooligan or not. Rivalries develop through their clubs acheivements or local rivalry, thus giving them more ‘targets’. It is not an English phenomenon, Italy, Spain, Argentina, research football rivalries and you’ll see the violence connected with the matches, it’s down to the hooligans. They are scum, end of.
