The game is played out over a football season and the object of the game is to become the most notorious group of hooligans in Europe and to "kill, maim and destroy the opposing hooligan teams".
The game includes a documentary narrative where a former hooligan turned reporter joins the local firm in the Netherlands for a tour around Europe during a continental championship and their attempt to see that the Dutch get the cup through any means necessary. To achieve this, the player proceeds through a variety of levels set in different locations and must injure or kill every opposing hooligan gang.
The Hooligans are divided into several classes. The Leader is the central member of the entire squad and the only one able to use handguns and rally his men and other members of the firm. The Rat acts as a scout and can break into residential places without alerting the law, but has limited stamina and easily gets drunk and high. The Hooligan is the demolitions expert and is used for crowd control. The Raver is a party-going member who can distract other gang members by using his loud boombox and has strong drug tolerance, but low alcoholic tolerance. The Biker and Bulch have the most health but the Biker can drive any car, using it as a transport or as a weapon against enemies. The Bulch is one of the three major units, an overweight dumb man who functions as the muscle, beating up other hooligans as well as being able to push certain objects to limit the movement of the enemy.
