People all over the world say the British football fans are very cruel. They try to fight the supporters of the other team inside and outside the stadium. The problem of hooligans is not new. There were already hooligans a hundred years ago. An angry crowd stopped the players from leaving the pitch at a game in England in 1885.
There are hooligans in other countries, but they have always been worst in England. They were a very big problem there in the 1980s. Hooligans broke glasses in bars and shop windows in the streets of the towns where their team were playing. They went to the matches by train and broke everything in the trains.
Many people in England were afraid to go into the street on the day of a football match. Today things are better. Games now are not so dangerous because the police understand the problem better. Families have started to go to soccer games again. In England you can see the bright side of soccer again.
