I think it's rather ultra-nationalists who use football as an excuse for beating the shit out of people from other nations. I am reminded of that song by Billy Bragg, the title of which I can't recall right now but whose refrain is "What do they know of England, who only England know." Apologies to anyone who thinks I'm singling out Brits by quoting this. I'm not. Nationalist hooligans come in all stripes (and stars for that matter).
