England's World Cup win: All-nighters, school screenings and fan

England's dramatic 3-2 victory over Mexico in the World Cup round of 16 sparked jubilation, exhaustion, and plenty of caffeine across the country on Monday. The 02:00 BST kick-off saw fans gather in packed pubs, celebrate quietly at home, or wake up devastated after sleeping through the game. Here are some of the stories shared with the BBC.

Schools host 'as-live' screenings

At Malmesbury Church of England Primary School in Wiltshire, pupils arrived early to watch the game 'as-live' so they could 'enjoy the game together as a community.' When Jude Bellingham scored two goals in two minutes in the first half, one pupil told the BBC it was 'looking really good' for England but added a gut feeling that 'Mexico are going to win.' After the final whistle, excited pupils celebrated as though they had watched it live. 'It was better [watching] with my friends than it was with my parents,' one pupil said.

Meanwhile, children watching the match at Castleway Primary in Leasowe, Wirral, were told they would miss playtime for the rest of the week if they spoiled the result for anyone.

Pubs stay open all night after licensing law U-turn

Pubs across the country remained open all night after the government reversed licensing laws, permitting them to stay open until 05:00. About 350 people watched the game at the Brittania Inn in St Austell, Cornwall. Landlord Phil Lafferty described it as 'an incredible evening and something we have never done before.' He added: 'Japan in 2002 was something else, playing at 06:00, but nothing like this. It was amazing.'

Sarah Badrock, manager of The Ship Inn in Trefin, Pembrokeshire, was one of the few pubs in Wales that stayed open until 05:00 for the England game. She offered a free drink for every goal scored, but only four people turned up, including actor Keith Allen, who wrote the iconic 1998 England World Cup song 'Vindaloo.'

Thea Barratt, who runs Cramptons Sports Bar in Broadstairs, Kent, said: 'I took more money than I did on New Year's Eve.' The bar added extra portaloos and an outside bar to accommodate more revellers. Barratt expects to top last night's takings for Saturday's quarter-finals: 'Long may they [England] continue and hopefully get to the final.'

Young fans and all-nighters

It was not just those of legal drinking age who pulled an all-nighter. Keen eight-year-old fan Wren was not supposed to be up for England's late-night fixture, but his mother Jess Clark told the BBC she could not resist waking him to celebrate. 'It was incredible, my son and I were jumping up and down hugging each other singing Wonderwall — it was just a dream,' she said. Clark added that experiencing England's success at the World Cup so far has been 'beyond magical.'

Viewing from a car park

Michelle, from Evesham, ended up watching part of the game in a car park at Birmingham Airport. She was there early to pick up her husband from a work trip, with two daughters in tow, and they were 'trying to get some sleep' as they waited. 'There was a couple of cheers and I jumped out of the car and... ran over to a taxi driver who was watching it on his phone, so I managed to get the second goal and then also our penalty,' she told BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine. 'I got so excited when Harry Kane scored that I hit the guy on the shoulder.' Unfortunately, Michelle did not get to watch the whole game because 'obviously the taxi driver had to go off and do his job,' she said.

Those who missed the match

But spare a thought for those who tried and failed to stay up for the match, including former Olympian Katharine Merry. 'I ploughed on through yesterday, thinking I'm not going to take a tactical nap,' the ex-English sprinter explained.
