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.

I like how the fans are all dressed in black with white helmets - I think the shield and clubs were a little heavy on the accessories side but to each his own.

Remind me to renew my FIBA Paperwork next week
