One of the fans who was present at the scene of the scuffle told "The England fans were taunting the Germans about them losing to Spain and then they started singing songs like 'Have you ever seen the Germans win a war?' There were about 20 English men who got involved in confronting a group of Germans and then a couple got involved in a punch-up."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Despite the police's swift actions to contain the initial scuffle, England fans attempted to provoke the German supporters again by singing "La Viva Espanol." This chant further inflamed the already tense situation, prompting the police to increase their presence and patrol the area to keep the rival factions apart.

As the night progressed, sporadic outbreaks of violence continued to erupt. Some England fans were seen inhaling from black balloons, a concerning sight amidst the already volatile environment. The central area of Alstadt remained particularly tense, with riot police repeatedly charging into the crowds to quell the fighting.
