THIS is the shocking moment a lone England fan is mobbed by Argentina-supporting thugs in a street brawl in a popular tourist hotspot.
Terrifying footage shows a group of men starting towards the Three Lions fan with their fists raised.
They start to exchange heavy blows as concerned bystanders watch the commotion unfold.
The victim is quickly surrounded by two men wearing Argentina jerseys who take it in turns to punch him in the head.
A woman tries to intervene while two other women grapple with one of the attackers.
The brawl then continued up the strip as more and more fans got involved, sparking chaos.
The violent scenes first started outside Budha Social club in Mallorca, Spain.
It is not immediately clear what caused the fight to start.
Footage of the shocking incident quickly went viral on social media, with users reacting with a mix of shock and amazement.
One person said: “Big group of cowards against one guy who probably doesn’t want any trouble.
“Would love to see these try any nonsense with a small group of good lads from the North East or Liverpool.”
Another quipped: “Disappointed I didn’t see a plastic patio chair get flung.”
A third added: ““I only see four cowardly Argentines chasing one Englishman.”
The fight was filmed after England secured their place in the last four of the World Cup with a 2-1 win over Norway.
Hours later, Argentina joined them after a dramatic 3-1 win against Switzerland.
The two sides will now meet at the 75,000 Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Wednesday night.
Ahead of kick-off authorities are reportedly aware about potential flashpoints including the Falklands War and Diego Maradona‘s infamous “Hand of God” goal.
In the dressing room after Argentina’s comeback victory against Egypt, the players could be heard singing chants about the Falklands.
“For the Malvinas, for Diego, for Leo’s last one,” the team sang.
Argentina fans back home also brazenly taunted England supporters by displaying stolen flags.
The England flags were unfurled by followers of second-tier Argentinian team Godoy Cruz during a league match at their stadium in Mendoza.
One flag read: “Boys and Girls from Oakwell, Barnsley” while others included the words: “Big Al” “Y-Bird” and South Croydon.
The flags are thought to have been prised from their rightful owners during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Lionel Messi & Co will now take on England for a place in Sunday’s showpiece final against either France or Spain.
