  Considering the graffiti is not in English (or any language that I, an American, recognize):

    It actually is English, or at least identical to the way you would write it in English. “Ultras” is a term for certain football fan groups. Not all ultras are like this, but when you hear about shitty behavior by a team’s fans, it’s usually ultras. In this case, it’s IFK Göteburg’s ultras called Wisemen.

    So it says “Ultras”, “GBG” (Göteburg/Gothenburg), and “Wisemen” (name)

      If it was an American, it would almost definitely say “soccer” somewhere

        Obviously visiting fans from Sweden, but the idea of hooligans just spray painting the name of the sport around town is hilarious to me for some reason. Like the meme of Steve Buscemi in the “music band” T-shirt.
