GELSENKIRCHEN (AFP) - ???3Thirteen England fans and more than 30 Germans were detained after scuffles in this western German city ahead of the World Cup quarter-final between England and Portugal.
One England fan was injured when bottles were thrown after clashes broke out when German fans took to the streets to celebrate Germany's victory over Italy in Friday's quarter-final in Berlin, police said Saturday.
Up to 70,000 England fans were expected to converge on Gelsenkirchen ahead of the game which kicks off at 1500 GMT, although tens of thousands will not have a match ticket.

Specially created areas with big screens are being opened to allow fans to watch the match at a race track and a football ground.
British police advising their German colleagues said they were expecting fans to arrive in Gelsenkirchen from nearby cities in the Ruhr conurbation such as Dusseldorf and Dortmund.
The senior British police officer in Germany, Assistant Chief Constable Stephen Thomas, said he did not expect a repetition of the clashes seen before England's last match, the 1-0 victory over Ecuador in Stuttgart.
"Our supporters will be spread over the region rather than being in one area," Thomas said.
"I think that's a good thing because it will avoid the scenes we saw in Stuttgart, with that very focal point on the steps outside the main fan park."
England's once notorious fans were praised for their behaviour in the early matches of the World Cup, but several hundred were detained after the clashes with German fans in Stuttgart.
A German court on Thursday handed one of the England fans involved in the Stuttgart violence a five-month suspended prison sentence.
Temperatures in Gelsenkirchen were expected to top 30 degrees Celsius by kickoff.
