Nightshift workers at the JD Sports distribution centre in Rochdale enjoyed the match while working overnight.

Two workers say the arrangements made by managers were "brilliant".

Lead operations manager at the centre Lisa Brookes says her colleagues are doing a "fantastic job" so it's a "great opportunity" to watch the football together and "just have some fun".

"It's not good for my heart, but football's my heart," says another worker. "It's coming home, let's bring it home."

Unfortunately, he wasn't able to go home quite so soon - with another two hours left of his shift after the game.

At Malmesbury Church of England Primary School in Wiltshire, hundreds of pupils still do not know the final result of the match. They are part-way through a full re-run, which their head teacher organised so that they can "enjoy the game together as a community".

For them, the score currently sits at 2-1 to England.

One pupil is "really surprised" by the result so far, because "the goals were really close to each other and I thought that Mexico were going to beat us".

Jude Bellingham scored two goals under 100 seconds apart in the first half, so it's looking "really good", says the pupil, who still has a gut feeling "Mexico are going to win".

Little do they know...

Digital marketing company MadebyShape, based in Manchester, is allowing its 21 members of staff to take the day off - providing they are on track with their work and rearrange any client meetings.

"In our industry, you can do work anytime," co-founder Andy Golpys tells me.

"As long as the work gets done, it doesn't really matter whether you work that day or catch up the next."

He adds his staff will appreciate the perk, "but from a business point of view, we're not really losing that much".

After firing his side into Saturday's quarter-final, England midfielder Jude Bellingham had one message: “Text your bosses and tell them you’re not coming in, simple as that."

At just 23, Bellingham may not have known tournament misery quite like some hardened fans but he knows victories like last night's are rare.

"I remember watching a few tournaments and seeing a few of the players that are now on TV talking about it," he said after the game.

“They struggled in these types of nights and it was tough because it felt like the country never really got behind them.

“Kids stay off school, parents don’t go to work, enjoy your day, have the day off if you can, these nights don’t come often.”

Early education minister Olivia Bailey is urging children to get into school this morning, even if they are a "bit sleepy" after last night's result.

On the morning media round, she tells Times Radio "it'll be a good day at school" and stresses that "every day at school matters, even when you're feeling a bit sleepy".

Parents who stayed up to watch, though, might be feeling a little like Labour MP for Walthamstow Stella Creasy as they head for the school gates this morning.

"I have no idea how I do the school run this morning after a red card and a penalty… Like having had ten espressos and a red bull chaser," she wrote on X at 03:28 BST.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer, meanwhile, calls it "one of the greatest England matches I've ever seen", as he declares: "We are through to the quarter finals!"

Today's shift started at 06:00 BST - so I set my alarm for 03:30, and watched the match "as live" in my living room after recording it overnight.

The big question - could I watch the match without waking up my two boys (aged 9 and 7) who were sleeping upstairs?

There was a silent leap off the sofa when Bellingham scored his first, followed by wild (but equally silent) fist pumping when the second went in barely a minute later.

Cushions were thrown as Mexico pulled one back, and there may have been just a peep of dissent when Quansah was sent off.

But, despite the best efforts of the VAR, I managed to keep schtum for the full game - or at least, schtum-ish. My sons stayed asleep.

And - after fast-forwarding half-time, the hydration breaks, and watching injury time on double speed - I was able to make it to work on time.

My boys, both of them noisy football fans, are now also watching the game "as live". One thing is for sure - they won't be as quiet as me...

Belting out Wonderwall in front of a stand of ecstatic travelling England fans may have proved a step too far for skipper Harry Kane, as he was left voiceless during post-match media duties.

It's not just England fans who are celebrating this morning; pub and bar owners are also reaping the rewards of staying open late.

"I took more money than I did on New Year's Eve," one bar manager tells the BBC's Wake Up to Money.

Thea Barratt runs Cramptons Sports Bar in Broadstairs, Kent, and says fans were queuing out of the door for a spot to see England take on Mexico.

England will now play Norway in a 22:00 BST quarter-final kick-off on Saturday, which Barratt says will be another "great boost" for her business.

After taking special measures - including installing new portaloos and building an outside bar - she says she expects to top last night's takings: "Long may they continue and hopefully get to the final".

Steve Heal, head teacher at Malmesbury Church of England Primary School, may be one of the few people left in the country still unaware of the result.

Along with his deputy Jonathan, they are planning to welcome hundreds of students into school this morning to watch a full replay of the match.

"I went to bed very early, switched off all my notifications, drove here trying not to look at anybody in the streets that I might pass and so far I've succesfully managed to know nothing," he tells BBC Breakfast.

Jonathan says he came up with the idea to "make a spectacle of it and actually enjoy the game together as a community".

Steve says the plan is to carry on with the school day as normal once the replay is over at 9:00 BST.

Pubs may have closed in the UK but England fans in Mexico - where it is about to hit midnight - have been partying into the night.

For those who were unable to get tickets to watch the match, there is still the chance to celebrate on the streets nearby the Azteca Stadium.

It was an absolutely electric atmosphere here at the Ye Olde King & Queen pub in Brighton, which was packed with hundreds of people watching the match.

Chants of "football's coming home again with Thomas Tuchel" rang around the pub as fans emptied their pint cups after England scored.

People didn't even take much notice of Mexico's goal, which came just minutes later!

If you've struggled with today's late kick-off, then worry not – the upcoming quarter-final against Norwayis due to start at 22:00 BST on Saturday 11 July, which feels slightly more reasonable.

If England were to progress further, the semi-final and final would take place at 20:00 on 15 July and 19 July respectively, but let's not get ahead of ourselves...

Even if you managed to catch some sleep before the game, the odds are that will won't be going into school or work tomorrow with your normal eight hours.

When you do so, just keep in mind that the tired brain is not you on a good day.

And if you've had a couple of beers while watching the game then things are going to be even worse. Alcohol is a sedative, but it dents your sleep quality.

Not sleeping enough leads to mood swings, being irritable, high levels of anxiety and you won't care much about others as your empathy does a runner.

And if you've got work or studies to do then concentration, decision-making, creativity and productivity all take "a nosedive", according to sleep scientist Prof Russel Foster, from the University of Oxford.

You're also more likely to take risks and be impulsive.

England's middle-of-the-night World Cup clash with Mexico has prompted calls for employers to use their "common sense and understanding" and allow flexible working where possible.

While some industries such as manufacturing and retail will be less able to provide flexibility, others are offering bleary-eyed fans later starts so they can catch up on sleep.

Joshua Elash, who runs London-based firm MT Finance Group, is allowing his staff to start work at 11:00.

"It wasn't a dilemma at all. This was as close to a no-brainer as a business can get," he says.

Zaid Patel, director of estate agency Highcastle Estates, has cancelled his team's usual Monday morning meeting and is allowing staff to start late or book last-minute leave. He'll "get the black coffees ready" for those who do come in.

There are an estimated 13,000 Mexicans living in the UK, according the Office for National Statistics 2021 Census.

Late last night around 400 of them who live in London made their way to a watch party in St Paul's, where the change in licensing laws meant they could take in the game surrounded by the familiar smells, sights and sounds of their home country.

Run by MexiBrit, an organisation promoting Mexican culture and traditions in the UK, a watch party promised big screens, South American street food, and an incredible atmosphere.

All at short notice, too; reacting just after the government's decision to extend license rules, the organisation's founder Paola Feregrino admits she'd had a "very stressful day" putting everything in place.

She expected a 400 strong crowd sell-out.

"It's been really positive, people have been going crazy," she says.
