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 09:00 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 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 Norway is 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...

England has made it into the quarter-finals of the World Cup, beating Mexico 2-3.

Even if you managed to catch some sleep before the game, the odds are that you 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.

Eager fans watched on from Freight Island in Manchester, where they celebrated the end result with jubilant cheers.

There are an estimated 13,000 Mexicans living in the UK, according to 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.

After England's victory against DR Congo, England manager Thomas Tuchcel urged parents to let their children stay up to watch today's match.

"Write an excuse for school and let them watch," he said on Wednesday. "There's so much school to go to, but the World Cup is every four years. Let them watch."

Asked about his comments earlier this week, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson told BBC Newsnight she would not "make requests on parents around bedtime", saying they were in the best position to decide.

But she did issue a plea to "try and get our kids in" to school this morning.

One of our BBC colleagues watched the game at Station House in Acton and described the atmosphere as fantastic despite the one-hour delay.

Electra, 13, is taking the day off school today - she's glad to be here, and says it was really tense watching. She even predicted the score would be 3-2 to England!

She was rooting for Saka on the pitch.

Otto, 13, found the game nerve-wracking.

The two Bellingham goals were "quite amazing", he says. 3-2 to England, he says - with Saka to score!

Otto is also having the day off school.

Pubs in England and Wales will be allowed to stay open until 05:00 BST this morning, allowing football fans to enjoy the result against Mexico.

The government had initially said it would not relax licensing laws further than they already have been for the World Cup.

But in a U-turn later on Thursday, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said pubs could stay open until the final whistle.

"Football might be coming home but we're making sure fans don't have to," he said on Thursday afternoon.

Publicans and businesses welcomed the change. Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association, said: "We all know the best place to watch the match is down the local."

Michael Kill, chief executive of the Night Time Industries Association, said it was "fantastic news" that would be "hugely welcomed by operators".

When asked about what the rest of her day looks like, Michaela replies: "Long."

"8am start but determined to get in at 8 and finish at 4. Do we sleep?"
