Cultural Decline Writ Large
Limited sociological and statistical analysis - but with high entertainment value - this documentary looks at how White soccer hooliganism operates. Despite the film’s fear of admitting Whites are innately racist and that such behavior is motivated by the loss of the various European empires, it reveals soccer fandom to be a game dominated by lower-class White males with no other means of self-expression and nothing to offer other than a self-loathing nostalgia for Empire, as such.
A soccer hooligan is someone who does not care about the game of soccer and, thus, ruins it for everyone else who does. As a result, the South American game has become fiscally-corrupt, while Europe is overrun with White supremacists.
Soccer is a sport for White males to act-out their latent closet-homosexuality-tinged aggression. Both the White pundits and the hooligans, themselves, shown here are as emotionally-repressed as each other - as if they are each projecting-and-displacing mutual hostility toward each other, rather than another, arbitrary ethnic group: As if that would make their self-contempt go away.
Despite Sean BEAN’s funny-sarcastic voice-over, a clear-eyed contempt for the subject matter means no real attempt is made to understand the issue and, therefore, to prevent it from happening - especially in other ideological White contexts such as immigration control and welfare reform.
The only solution offered here is more vigorous policing, but the long-term financial costs of this are not considered nor, therefore, whether a cheaper solution can be found. The police and the courts are purely curative; thereby eliding any preventive strategies that would help ensure the future health of soccer. But that would require systemic change, not only in soccer, but also in the White cultures that breed such violence, in the first place. A good look at those parts of the world with little or no soccer hooliganism would help here (eg, Africa) so long as Whites were willing to change the habits of a lifetime and to learn from those whose skins are darker than theirs.
