It was surprisingly well done. You can see real life Green Street Hooligans twice next year since it looks like Millwall and West Ham will both be playing in the same division with West Ham being relegated from the EPL to the Championship.

I enjoyed the movie and knew enough about hooliganism to follow pretty well. My buddy is a huge soccer fan and thats like his sports movie bible.

I dont know if it is that good. In terms of soccer movies, I've always liked Victory and The Damned United.

I don't even know any other soccer movies. Does Invictus count?

invictus is a rugby movie

It's all football right?

Rugby, Soccer, and American Football all come from the place. basically, Soccer broke off in the 1860s and American Football broke off in the 1880/90s

It was a good movie.
As for soccer movies, I also enjoyed 'Looking for Eric', 'The Damned United', 'Mean Machine', 'Goal', and of course 'Kicking and Screaming.'
Story!
Last time I went to Upton Park I was in the area to meet someone for lunch. I decided to walk around the stadium to check it out. It was off-season, no games or anything. And there was a fight in the parking lot. It was pretty awesome.
Also, tons of fans have their ashes spread on the grounds, and their tombstones put up in the landscaping around the parking lot and stadium, one of the most hardcore fan bases I've ever encountered.

Fever Pitch was also originally done as a soccer movie. Instead of the red sox, he's an Arsenal supporter.

I've actually seen a Milwall-West Ham derby is person. Really don't want to ever see that again.
Damned United was a good movie too.
