    England and Germany fans were involved in clashes in Düsseldorf on Friday night, according to reports.

    Video footage obtained by the Daily Mail shows a group of England fans outside a bar in the city, taunting nearby Germany supporters about their side’s exit and singing “Germans going home”.

    A brief scuffle then broke out between a handful of people, who aimed punches and kicks at each other, with some objects thrown before the Germany fans appeared to move away.
