    A man was recently killed in the Patriots stadium after an away fan sucker punched him. US sports definitely have “hooligans”.

      While horrible that still sounds nothing like hooligans that will literally contact each other and arrange a meeting somewhere near the stadium before/after the match to beat each other up with home made weapons.

      I think the true reason is that in the US that would just immediately devolve into gun shootouts and that’s probably too much for anyone.

        This is more what I was getting at. I think we don’t really have the hooligan type gang fights because we are so much more spread out than most of the countries with soccer/football hooligans.
