Portuguese police have arrested a man over the death of an England fan in a suspected attempted robbery.
The man is reported to have been stabbed in Rossio Square, Lisbon, in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

The Foreign Office was able to confirm a man had died but said no other details would be available until his family had been informed.

"We can confirm that a British national has been killed," the Foreign Office spokeswoman said.

The man was taken to Sao Jose hospital in Lisbon where he was pronounced dead on arrival, Portuguese police said.

The death was the only incident reported after England's 4-2 victory over Croatia on Monday night.

A BBC correspondent in Lisbon said the mood in the city had seemed peaceful following the match.

 

 

 

 

can we even watch are own team play with out getting into trouble?

wots the world coming too?

 

Very Sad

 

 

We're supposed to be so bad but it always seems to be the english lads that get killed.

As a Leeds supporter I can honestly say that I'm sick of seeing our fans receive no police protection whatsoever abroad.

 

 

Good shout m8.

 

My brother is out there at the moment....he is 28
I hope he is ok....I can't get hold of him at the mo.

 

BBC say the guy was 27.

 

I've read it might have been an attempted robbery, so may not have anything to do with the football

 

At the end of the day though, it is just another mugging gone wrong that happens all the time here and abroad and is completely unrelated to the football...

Condolences to the family, but I don't think PF should be turned into an obituary column.

 

Very sad

 

 

I agree
