The worst violence tends to be at local derbys.

If you ever want to go to a River Plate vs Boca Juniors match in Argentina you must have a screw loose.

Same with Fenerbahce vs Galatasaray in Turkey.

Ajax , Feynoord & PSV Eindhoven used to be very violent but new stadiums, CCTV & extra police have calmed those right down. I was in Amsterdam when Ajax opened their new stadium with a match against Feynoord. There was trouble everywhere , it sounded like there were bombs going off. And I wasn't even at the stadium.

Same with Rangers & Celtic in Scotland , which was basically Protestant vs Catholic.

The last game with violence I can remember with an English club was Roma vs Man Utd last year. But the Man Utd fans were on the end of it rather than giving it.
