STORYLINE:
Police broke up two brief but violent disturbances involving English soccer fans Saturday, arresting more than 300 people the day before England plays Ecuador in a World Cup second-round match.
Following Germany's 2-0 afternoon win over Sweden, English and German fans clashed in a plaza near outdoor viewing screens in the southern German city.
German fans were singing in celebration when England fans began throwing plastic chairs and bottles at them, according to a police spokeswoman.
Five Germans were injured before officers in riot gear separated the two sides. Police lines two or three deep corralled the English fans and waded into the crowd, arresting them one by one.
About 50,000 England fans were expected in Stuttgart for Sunday's England-Ecuador match.
They were greeted with a heavy security presence - about 1,800 officers on patrol along with British police.
Early on Saturday in the same downtown area, police arrested 122 English fans who had been throwing bottles and glasses at passers-by from a pub terrace.
