Brazilian police detained on Saturday two suspected members of Argentina’s infamous hooligan gangs, known in Spanish as "Barras Bravas’, according to media reports.
But the FCO warned fans there could be further clashes and to stay alert, follow the guidance of local authorities and steer clear of any signs of trouble.
