Anyone seen Green Street Hooligans?

[Nuklear]

I did yesterday and I really enjoyed the movie. It's a must watch even though the accent kinda annoyed me. It got 7.2 or something on IMDB.

Questions:
1. Are firms still popular in UK?
2. Do Brits really hate it when we say soccer?
3. Do many Brits (by many, I mean the majority of Brits) call Americans Yanks?

Not only Brits. Latin Americans also hate the word soccer.
