Following the Three Lions’ embarrassing draw against the USA, the film, titled “England V Wales before match in Tenerife,” depicts supporters wearing red tops and Wales jerseys squabbling with those wearing England tops on the opposite side of the street.
Several vicious blows as well as chairs are thrown are among the disturbing moments. A black t-shirted man can be seen getting struck from behind by an England supporter before falling to the ground.
Then a chair is hurled at him and tossed back at him before the camera pans to the right of the bars where another altercation is taking place. Over the course of the remaining two minutes of the video, fights between the two groups of supporters continue to erupt, with more brutal punches, kicks, and chairs being hurled.
On Friday night in Tenerife, fans of England and Wales got into a fight outside clubs.
In Tenerife, a large brawl broke out outside of Revolution pub.
Meanwhile, the upsetting images have drawn criticism from fans on social media. One person tweeted: “One cannot simply go out and have fun without getting into an argument. Another person added: “Pathetic. Embarrassing.”
Another tweet read: “Anyone who wants to engage in combat with a total stranger simply because they were born somewhere else or happen to support a different team is a backward person. They will eventually mature.”
A fourth commented: “Wonder why Qatar don’t want to bend their laws and beliefs on alcohol,” along with laughing face emojis.
To watch the World Cup, thousands of fans have travelled to the Spanish island.
It happens as thousands of spectators arrive on the Spanish island to watch the World Cup, which is taking place in Qatar.
Three to five thousand Wales World Cup supporters are thought to be in Tenerife rather than Qatar. It has been reported that Wales will host the World Cup there “unofficially.”
In contrast to the strict laws and exorbitant accommodation costs of the middle-eastern nation, the island’s accessibility to alcohol and affordability are two factors. Another thought to be contributing factor in why fans chose Tenerife as their World Cup host is Qatar’s questionable human rights record.
Last night, England and the USA played to a scoreless tie.
The eruption of violence follows a disheartening stalemate for Gareth Southgate’s England team against Group B rivals USA. The Euro 2020 champions lacked any kind of offensive innovation and played the majority of the game on the defensive.
Despite this, they are in first place in their group with four points, while Wales is last after their shocking 2-0 loss to Iran.
At the Ahmed bin Ali stadium, Rob Page’s team never quite got going, but it appeared that a draw was inevitable. Iran’s Rouzbeh Cheshmi ended any hopes of a victory in the 98th minute with a magnificent long-range goal, and Wales experienced even more despair with a goal in the last seconds.
