????????????
???????? ???????? ???????? ???????? ???? ???????? ???? ???????? ???????????? About 185 people have been held in police custody overnight after clashes broke out around a World Cup match between Germany and Poland in Dortmund. Police said trouble flared ahead of the match, as they tried to arrest "violent hooligans in the city centre".
A central square was sealed off and bottles were thrown at police in the worst trouble so far at the World Cup.
However, authorities said a pre-emptive operation to arrest "problem fans" before the game had been "successful".
About 60 known Polish hooligans were arrested during the day, after being spotted by Polish police working alongside German officers.
The match - which Germany won 1-0 - had long been identified as a potential source of trouble, with the two countries' wartime past and a recent history of football-related violence thought likely to stoke tensions.

???????????? ???????? ???????? ???? ???? There were about 300 arrests overall, with about 80 Poles and 100 Germans held overnight.
In the event, most of the violence seemed not to be between rival fans, but between German hooligans and police.
About two hours before the evening match kicked off, the festive mood in the sunshine in Dortmund's central Alter Markt square turned darker when German skinheads wearing black t-shirts began to behave threateningly, a police spokesman told Reuters.
"Their tone had become very aggressive so we decided to move in to prevent the situation from escalating," said spokeswoman Saskia Schneider.
"This situation led to attacks on the police. Then it spilled over and different fan groups started attacking each other."
About 120 fans threw fireworks, bottles and chairs at police.
Riot police sealed off the square, isolating the violent fans, before moving in to remove them.
There were no reports of serious injuries.

"To have a situation like that happen is not something you'd like, but we were aware this could be a potential trouble spot," he told the BBC.
"The international co-operation, for instance with Polish police officers, worked very well - illustrated by the fact that before the match 60 known hooligans were taken into custody."
There were thought to be about 7,000 Poles at the match - the result of which means Poland cannot qualify for the next round.
Thousands more Poles made the trip to Dortmund without match tickets, but most are thought to have returned to home after the game. ???????? ????
