19 June 2012

The German Football Association are facing a second fine for the behaviour of Germany fans at the European Championship.

UEFA announced they had were taking action against the DFB for the "improper conduct" of their supporters during Sunday's 2-1 Group B win over Denmark.

The disciplinary proceedings were for the "display of inappropriate banners and symbols, and inappropriate chanting", but UEFA refused to confirm if any of those were racist in nature.

The DFB was also charged with the setting-off of fireworks, having already been fined 10,000 euros (just over £8,000) after their fans threw screwed up pieces of paper at Portugal players during their opening match.

UEFA's Control and Disciplinary Body will deal with the latest case on Saturday.
