Brazilian police have released the group shortly after being detained.
The fan group defended their act of having England fans attacked in Sao Paulo claiming that they were provoked. According to Globo however, the accused have not been required to give a statement before their release.
While the British Consulate said they are aware of the incident of England fans attacked in Sao Paulo, they are not informed of any casualties.
A statement from the British Consulate read, "We are aware of an incident affecting fans around the area of the Fan Festival in Sao Paulo. We are working with the local authorities to establish the facts. No British nationals are believed to have been injured."
Despite the incident of England fans attacked in Sao Paulo, England's footballers reportedly continue being the butt of jokes online. Many posts are reportedly from Portugal and Spain.
On Twitter, a @humor_esportivo said, "England invented football. They must have lost the playing instructions."
Another took to the social networking site as well and said, "What a crazy world cup, when even Rooney scores but Ronaldo fails to hit the net."
England fans attacked in Sao Paulo caused ten English victims to require hospital treatment.
