I wasn't able to see the movie until now (not using Windoze, you know )

Many European clubs have those "organized supporters", which are actually supported by the clubs themselves, in order to get the "atmosphere of the game". Often they are plain hooligans; put in the traditional rivalry among different nations or even among different towns in the same nation and you get this.

It is more frequent in soccer games, though.
