Englezi, ipak moralni pobjednici Svjetskog Prvenstva u Njemackoj?
Danas je uhapseno preko 200 engleskih navijaca kada su udarili na njemacke navijace nakon njihove utakmice sa Svedskom.
Preko 300 uhapseno u zadnja dva dana.
Sutra se ocekuje dolazak oko 60000 engleskih navijaca.
Riot police arrest England fans
Police in Stuttgart are dealing with the confrontation between fans
Riot police are arresting England supporters in Stuttgart's main square.
German police are leading away about 200 England fans, who were held together in a corner of the square. Chairs and bottles were thrown earlier by small groups of rival fans.
The rest of the square is filled with thousands watching the Argentina vs Mexico match on the big screen.
Of the 122 England fans arrested in Stuttgart on Friday night all are likely to be held until Monday.
Currently, police are surrounding the remaining fans in the square but the atmosphere has eased.
Germany win
BBC News's Claire Heald said German fans were leaving the square following Germany's 2-0 win over Sweden but a small group had refused to move past a bar in which England supporters had gathered and riot police moved in.
English and German fans are singing songs at each other in a good-natured but rowdy atmosphere - but in hot conditions a lot of beer is being drunk

Missiles were thrown during the initial confrontation and the police then created a barrier to keep the fans about 50m apart.
Erwin Hetger, head of the state police, said: "We had no problems at all with the French, Swiss and Dutch fans that were having a great party here.
"It all changed when the English fans arrived. The atmosphere changed. The incidents began late yesterday evening."
He praised the help he had received from the British police who are in Germany for the tournament.
Earlier, police warned that any fans arrested could miss England's match against Ecuador on Sunday.
But they have stressed that the majority of the expected 60,000 England fans set to watch the game in Stuttgart had not caused authorities any problems.
On Friday, police had tried to move a group of drunken fans in the main square who were singing songs insulting to Germans and other nationalities.
But the group refused to disperse and some threw bottles and chairs, as well as singing racist chants. One man has been charged with assault, after allegedly throwing a chair which hit a Tunisia fan.
Arrested fans could miss the England match on Sunday
The arrests on Friday night and in the early hours of Saturday more than doubled the number of UK citizens held so far during the World Cup.
Total arrests of all nationalities during the tournament stands at more than 4,000.
England are due to play Ecuador in Stuttgart on Sunday at 1600 BST.
