If you think die-hard SEC college football fans are bad, just wait till you deal with the ultra fans of soccer teams in Europe. Those ultra fans make the drunken NFL fans in the upper deck of stadiums look positively civilized in comparison.

Not so bad now in England, but it's really bad in Central and Eastern Europe.

The ultra fans of soccer teams are especially dangerous in the Spanish La Liga and Italian Serie A, especially the way they abuse players from Africa.

England used to be really bad, but after the fan tragedies at Heysel in 1985 and Hillsborough in 1989, the police really cracked down hard on the hooligans and also forced a change in stadium configuration to discourage such activities. Today, the fan experience at Premier League stadiums are totally different than what it was before 1989.
