Sick footage shows two men believed to be Three Lions fans repeatedly performing the Nazi salute and chanting an anti-Semitic song addressed to Tottenham Hotspur - a club with historic links to London’s Jewish population. They are heard chanting: "Spurs are on their way to Auschwitz, Hitler's gonna gas them again.” They then shout "sieg heil, sieg heil”, a victory salute used by Nazis at their political rallies. The video is believed to have been filmed in the Russian city of Volgograd, where England played its first World Cup match against Tunisia. The disgraceful conduct of the individuals in this video does not represent the values of the majority of English football fans supporting the team in Russia An FA spokesperson Gareth Southgate’s team won thanks to two goals scored by England captain Harry Kane, incidentally the star of Tottenham, the North London team targeted in the video. The footage has sparked an investigation from British police and the FA. An FA spokesperson said: "We strongly condemn the actions of the people in this video. "We are working with the relevant authorities, including the UK Police investigations team, who are making enquiries to identify the individuals involved and take appropriate action.

The video shows two fans performing a Nazi salute and singing a fascist chant while in a bar. The establishment closely resembles one in Volgograd, where England played Tunisia on Monday. England fans had previously been warned not to hang St George’s flags on monuments in the city – formerly known as Stalingrad – and to be respectful of the fact that it is the site of one of the most brutal battles of the second world war. Deputy chief constable Mark Roberts, the head of British football policing, presides over a team of spotters who are charged with identifying problematic and criminal behaviour by travelling fans. The spotters are aware of the bar where the video is thought to have been filmed and are investigating. One of the fans in the video was seen on the streets of Volgograd before the game looking inebriated. An FA spokesperson said: “We strongly condemn the actions of the people in this video. We are working with the relevant authorities, including the UK police investigations team, who are making inquiries to identify the individuals involved and take appropriate action. The disgraceful conduct of the individuals in this video does not represent the values of the majority of English football fans supporting the team in Russia.” The bar in the video appeared similar to one in Volgograd called Gallery Pub, which had hosted England fans on the evening of the match according to photographs posted on social media. The placement of furniture, televisions, menu items, and scarves and flags around the bar, including a local FC Rotor scarf over a plasma screen, matched the video with the British fans singing. “And now the fiery British are with us! The entire pub is shaking from their singing!” an account tied to the pub posted on Instagram, alongside a photograph of British and Russian fans. A person who answered the phone at the pub hung up twice on a reporter from the Guardian when asked about whether the incident had taken place there. “This type of behaviour shows absolute ignorance of history, is insensitive and can be prosecuted under Russian law,” said Piara Powar, head of Fare, which monitors far-right and discriminatory behaviour in football. The overwhelming atmosphere in Volgograd was one of good-natured mingling, with most England fans praising the friendliness of their hosts and reporting that Russians had gone out of their way to show them around the city, and provide help and advice. Equally, there was a sense that the travelling support was being careful not to behave antagonistically. On the morning of the match, Greg Clarke, the chairman of the FA, and the deputy British ambassador to Russia joined fans in a wreath-laying ceremony at Volgograd’s main war memorial. In the early hours of Tuesday morning in an English pub in central Volgograd, a Guardian reporter heard three young Russian men sing a chant involving the words “Hitlerjugend SS”, apparently a common chant among far-right football supporters in Russia and Ukraine. Elsewhere in the pub, England and Tunisia fans were drinking together with locals amid a party atmosphere.<doc-sep>The Football Association has condemned a small group of England fans after a video appeared of them singing anti-Semitic songs. The video was filmed in Volgograd where England played their opening World Cup game against Tunisia on Monday and won 2-1. The Sun published the footage which appears to show at least two men taunting Tottenham Hotspur over their Jewish heritage while performing Nazi salutes. An FA spokesperson said: "We strongly condemn the actions of the people in this video. "We are working with the relevant authorities, including the UK Police investigations team, who are making enquiries to identify the individuals involved and take appropriate action.

A group of England fans have been filmed performing Nazi salutes and singing anti-Semitic songs in a bar in Russia. The video features a group of men in Volgograd, the city where England played Tunisia in the World Cup on Monday night, raising their arms and shouting 'sieg-heil'. Filmed at the Galleriya Pub, one man sitting at a bar and two more standing are seen to be singing. The men, who appear to have southern English accents, are singing to the tune of an old Tottenham Hotspur song called Ossie's Dream, which had the lyrics, "We're on our way to Wembley". In the video, which was shared by Bryan MacDonald, and Irish journalist based in Russia, the men singing have changed the lyrics to, "We're on the way to Auschwitz". It's estimated that more than a million Jewish people were killed at the Nazi concentration camp in Poland during World War Two. Volgograd, where the footage was filmed, was formerly known as Stalingrad, the scene of the bloodiest and most brutal battle of the world war. The video is believed to have been filmed on the night of the England match - and the FA moved quickly to condemn those who took part. "We strongly condemn the actions of the people in this video," the FA said in a statement. "We are working with the relevant authorities, including the UK Police investigations team, who are making enquiries to identify the individuals involved and take appropriate action. "The disgraceful conduct of the individuals in this video does not represent the values of the majority of English football fans supporting the team in Russia." It is the major first incident involving England fans to make headlines this summer. (Image: Daily Mirror) There were concerns heading into the tournament about safety of supporters travelling because of the trouble at Euro 2016. But so far, no violent scenes have been documented. Reacting to the video on Twitter, England fans slammed the action of supporters. One said: "No place in football for idiots like that. Total morons." Another branded the actions "disgusting" and another described it as a "shame". (Image: PA Wire) England secured a 2-1 victory over Tunisia in Volgograd, scoring in stoppage time for the win. It was the Three Lions' first game since arriving in Russia, with the second against Panama in Nizhny Novgorod taking place on Sunday afternoon.
