"Football Hooligans", not only for football

Violence, gambling, bars, streets, these have long been part of the football subculture. This movie does exactly that.
A Harvard student, framed by his roommate, expelled and has to travel to England to find his sister. The brother-in-law's younger brother is a football hooligan, and the elder sister doesn't want the good boy to have anything to do with him. However, the disobedient younger brother went to the football game with him and became a football hooligan.
We all know that the uncivilized nature of British fans is globally recognized, so they have also become the material for many movies. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is undoubtedly a group of local hooligans: making trouble in the West Ham United game, fighting in groups, and even risking their lives. However, they are loyal and affectionate, and betrayal is unforgivable.
In the film, when people know that he is a journalism student at Harvard University, they all think that he is sent by the media to visit them unannounced to deal with them. His initial leader gave him credit and warned him not to have anything to do with the media. The different soils of American culture and British culture gave birth to different national movements. When he saw the kids playing so well, he thought they were from a professional team, but they weren't. Football makes England crazy.
In this film, the most memorable sentence for me was said by his brother-in-law: the best reputation you can have is about your family. Love, let him stay away from violence and return to a normal life trajectory; family, let him learn responsibility and stop being reckless. Football is only a part of life and should not be a burden to life.
In the end, a large-scale conflict resulted in a heavy price for both sides. Fanaticism, to be in moderation.
