Next Tuesday England and Wales face off in the decisive (after the results of the first two legs) match for Group 2 of the Football World Cup, However, fans of both teams made sure to get the British derby started early and on Spanish soil!
In Las Verónicas, an area of Playa de Las Américas, south of Tenerife where there are many bars, the combined presence of English and Welsh was enough to create pandemonium, hundreds of kilometres away from their homelands and from Qatar where the World Cup is being hosted.
Without the cause being known, suddenly in the middle of the street, fists started falling and chairs and bottles
[/P]
Most of the participants were wearing either the white England or red Wales jersey and it was more than obvious that they had consumed plenty of alcohol.
This incident has alarmed local authorities and ahead of next Tuesday's clash it has been decided to have an increased police presence in the area to avoid similar scenes.
And for those wondering what the hell England and Wales are doing in Tenerife when the World Cup is in Qatar, the answer is simple.
The expense of travelling to Qatar was prohibitive for many, whereas Tenerife, where temperatures remain high, is a much more economical destination
Except that the cocktail of English and Welsh is proving too dangerous.
