England’s World Cup win over Mexico in a 3-2 thriller sparked an all-night viewing culture, with Jude Bellingham telling supporters at home to “have a day off.” The match was delayed from its original 1am kick-off to about 2am due to thunderstorms near the Azteca stadium, and fans were not getting to bed until after 4am. Supporters packed bars and pubs across the UK after the Government extended licensing hours to 5am on Monday, with 11 minutes of added time ending in loud celebrations. After the game, Bellingham urged parents and employers to adjust plans, while education minister Olivia Bailey said children should still attend school to build “resilience.” England captain Harry Kane’s late penalty helped secure a quarter-final against Norway, with the Prince of Wales and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer among early congratulators.
