Foreign soccer matches seem to attract the worst of the worst, no matter what the country.

Some British fans make monkey noises and throw bananas at black players on the visiting team.

I don't know what it is about soccer that attracts that type of element. You don't see anything like it at MLS games, though.

Spanish fans did this (and they did it to black players from England). I can't recall this happening to international teams playing in England though, but I think there have been incidents with club teams.

Happens in France as well

And Norway

And a good roundup article
