Meanings of english hooligan in English

Though headlines about English hooligans sweep the world, they don't do justice to the terror involved.

In the bad old days of English hooligan football, coin-chucking incidents were, by many accounts, ten a penny.

In June, Russian and English hooligans fought in Marseille, France, before an opening-round match of the Euro 2016 championships.

Such scenes help to explain why there is so little focus this year on the threat posed by English hooligans.

Football may begin with just having fun, but it can then become far more serious stuff, as any English hooligan or Argentinian nationalist will attest.
