England and Wales fans decided to get into a massive punch-up in the middle of a busy street out in Tenerife on Friday night.
Video footage of the fight was published onto social media, showing a huge group of lads have it out with each other with chairs also thrown at one another.
The chaos played out for over two minutes, before it eventually calmed down, and no doubt some of those involved will be waking up in the morning with sore heads.

The video clip has gone on to get over 400,000 views, and counting, as it continues to go viral on social media the following day.
An estimated 2,500 fans have flew out to Tenerife instead of Qatar to watch England and Wales in the World Cup – and the fan who came up with the idea said she is having “the best time”.
Bethany Evans said most fans there were put off a trip to Qatar due to the cost, others because of rules and regulations, so why not go watch the World Cup in a bar in a place with much warmer conditions that what Britain is facing right now.
A bar owner who made a fan zone for the USA game said it was “unbelievable”.
When Wales qualified for the World Cup, Evans, from Nelson in Caerphilly, decided going to Qatar would be too expensive and initially suggested a Tenerife as an alternative as “a bit of a joke.”
However the idea went “a bit mad” as more and more people decided to join her.
So after several messages, Tenerife seems to be the winner soooo – whoโs coming?๐ ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ https://t.co/fHVzV5k9bn

When the tournament kick started in Qatar, she said she felt “a little bit gutted” not to be there but as soon as she saw supporters having such a good time in Tenerife, she said it was “all I wanted.”
“Seeing the photos and the videos (from Qatar) it does look incredible out there but I’m literally having the best time here.
“Seeing my idea come to fruition like this it beats absolutely everything.
“And that bar on Monday night, if you closed your eyes when we were singing the national anthem it was like you were in that game, and that was good enough for me.”
As it stands, England top Group B and need point in final game against Wales to qualify, while Wales must win and hope USA-Iran is a draw.
Wales’ first World Cup for 64 years looks set to end at the first hurdle after a gut-wrenching – but deserved – last-ditch defeat by Iran in Qatar. Robert Page’s side could only draw 1-1 with USA.
England were also held to a draw against the United States to miss the chance to seal qualification for the World Cup knockout stage.
Gareth Southgate’s men were second best for lengthy periods as they failed to match the energy and intensity of their opponents, who have their own hopes of making the last 16.
England managed to beat Iran 6-2 in their opening group game, boosting optimism, only to be brought back down to earth by USA.
