Green Street Hooligans

I watched Green Street Hooligans today, a movie starring Elijah Wood in the role of a young American student journalist traveling to London and discovering the underground world of soccer hooligans. Wood’s performance is excellent, and greatly contributes to paint a romantic yet controversial picture of the hooligans movement. As someone who still remembers the Heysel stadium tragedy of 1985, I have mixed feelings about the movie and the director’s intents in making it. Definitely worth watching though.
