    Fucking great movie, in my humble opinion. Anyone else seen it?

    Of course. It's very well done and quite realistic not to mention completely :awesome Beats the living shite out of Green Street Hooligans (aka Hollywood Casuals) any day.

    My favourite scene probably is when they kick out Zeberdee and his friend out of the bus in front of the other fans. Them being chased and then suddenly the firm leave the bus, epic turnover.

    Green Street Hooligans, just the mere mention, in any soccer bar in the US, is enough to bring on fits of rage rarely matched. Having Frodo the Faggot represent every US Fan as a push-over who doesn't know "Football" from "Soccer" is... oh man. Angering beyond words.

    What I was referring to was the failure that the film is, in terms of realism, compared to Football Factory.

    At the quite obvious risk of antagonizing, that is how US fans are like innit? :awesome
    Anyhow, I have never visited the football scene in the US, it's a trip I'd really like to make someday. Will have to wait untill after the army though.

    Elijah Wood is just one of the most effeminate (technically) male human beings on this planet, and he was kind of put on this pedestal as a representative of the entire US male population. It's like RL Trollin.

    But yeah, Football Factory was a great deal more realistic and awesome to boot.

    I like laughing at Elijah Wood. Made the sight of him knocking out English thugs that much more hilarious.

    Football Factory is pretty epic, but I haven't seen it in a while. Might hire it out
