One time, after watching the match Persija against Persib Bandung in Jakarta, Rangga and his fellows of Jack Mania, attacked a bus carrying the Vikings, Persib supporters group. At that time he first saw Desi in the bus. They fell in love at first sight.
Rangga and Desi met again when Rangga went to Bandung to find football merchandise. Incidentally, Desi and his two friends were eating at the shop. They met in the locker room, and exchanged the phone no. Since then, they connected and arranged to meet. Desi went to Jakarta with the reason looking for some books. In Jakarta, Desi stayed in Rangga’s place which also the headquarters of Jack Mania. She was escorted by Rangga for going home to Bandung. In Desi's house, Rangga was introduced to her mother and brother, Parman, who was chairman of Viking. When asked if he was Jack Parman Mania, Rangga could not answer. Fortunately, Parman did not recognize him.
However Rangga presence into the region of Viking was not only known by Daisy and her family. Other member of Vikings came to Parman and Soleh who worked at the garage. He said that he saw a Jack Mania Kid who had attacked their bus in Tangerang, wandering in their territories with Daisy. Parman realized who the real Rangga. When Rangga came again to take Daisy home, almost a fight broke out between them. Fortunately, their mother came to arbitrate.
In Jakarta, Rangga also branded as a traitor by some of his friends of Jack Mania. Only a few close friends supported him. But, he remained to see Desi in her campus secretly. He even asked Desi to get married without family permission. Desi agreed. On the appointed day, Daisy slipped from home. Her mother found out, but she blessed Desi, and gave a message to Desi’ Uncle to legitimate her marriage. Finally, Rangga and Daisy married in a simple way, attended by only close friends.

Game of Persib vs. Persija held again in Bandung.Taking advantage of this moment, Rangga went to Bandung. His friends were worried about his safety, catched him. Right, knowing there was Jack Mania infiltrated in supporter of Persib Bandung, they rampaged. Daisy tried to prevent, but no avail. So, as well as the story of Romeo-Juliet , the love story of Rangga-Desi also ended tragically.
This film invited controversy, especially from the Jack Mania and Viking. I'm also a fan of soccer. I’m also Indonesian football watcher, and including those concerned with the fanaticism of supporters who do not often invite violence, verbally as well as non-verbal. That's why I prefer to watch a football game on television, because I thought watching in the stadium does not guarantee its security. Although I love watching football game, I still would not be risking my own safety.But I’m never stopped hoping, Indonesian football will be better, both in terms of achievement, professionalism, managerial organization, and supporter’s behaviour.
