Watch funny moment German cop fails to consfiscate football from Scotland fans
THIS is the brilliant moment German police failed to confiscate a football from Scotland fans at Euro 2024.
The hilarious scenes were caught on camera by SunSport as Scotland fans continued their party despite being hammered by the hosts last night.
Germany romped to a 5-1 win at the Allianz Arena in the first game of the tournament.
But Scottish fans appeared to be in good spirits as they enjoyed a kick-about in a public area.
However, German police were not impressed with the crowd.
And they attempted to break things up by confiscating their neon green football.
Unfortunately for the coppers, the Scottish fans had a plan to save their game.
Instead of handing over the ball, cheeky supporters bounced it between various people.
The police appeared flustered as they struggled to get near.
And one even dropped his hat in an attempt to get the ball, leaving him scowling.

As the policeman told several fans off, a female supporter grabbed the ball before quietly slipping away towards an adjacent bar.
She chuckled as she watched the police with a relaxed manner.

And the game is sure to have continued in full swing after the coppers went on their way.
Scotland fans will certainly be hoping for better fortunes in their next game against Switzerland.
Steve Clarke’s side looked a shadow of their former selves against Germany, failing to put up a fight and only getting on the scoresheet thanks to an own-goal from Antonio Rudiger.
Their next match, which will be without Ryan Porteous following his late red card, sees them take on Switzerland on Wednesday.
And Scotland’s final group game occurs a week on Sunday against Hungary.
Earlier today, Scotland’s two future opponents played out an entertaining match.
Switzerland emerged 3-1 winners in the clash, but Hungary gave a good second-half performance to show they will be no pushovers.
Speaking after the defeat to Germany, Scotland boss Clarke lamented: “Germany were outstanding, we couldn’t match them. Defensively, we weren’t very good and on the ball we weren’t very good.
“The first half ran way from us very quickly, we didn’t give ourselves a foothold.
“Now it’s all about reaction so let’s see how they react. Four points is the target. We didn’t get any tonight so it’s still the target from the next two games.”
