Image caption, It has been a Monday morning to remember for England fans By Tom McArthur Published 4 minutes ago There was jubilation, exhaustion and plenty of caffeine across England on Monday after the Three Lion's dramatic 3-2 win over Mexico sending them into the World Cup quarter-finals. Fans powered through a 02:00 BST kick-off gathering in packed pubs, while other celebrated quietly from their sofas, and a few woke up devastated to realise they slept through the game. Here are your stories you shared with us. Schools watch the game "as-live" Image caption, Now the rewatch is over, the school can finally celebrate together At Malmesbury Church of England Primary School in Wiltshire, pupils arrived early to watch the game "as-live" at school 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 they had a gut feeling that "Mexico are going to win". Little did they know… When the final whistle blew, 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. An incredible night when England heroes were made Published 9 hours ago Who produced another iconic performance? England player ratings Published 12 hours ago 'An incredible evening' Image source, PA Media Image caption, A 22:00 kick off for England's quarter final against Norway on Saturday is a bit more reasonable than Monday's schedule Pubs across the country remained open all night after the government U-turn on licensing laws permitted them to stay open until 05:00. About 350 people watched the game at the Brittania Inn in St Austell, Cornwall . Landlord Phil Lafferty said it was "an incredible evening and something we have never done before". He said: "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 was offering 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.

The bar added extra portaloos and an outside bar to accommodate more revellers. Thea says she expects to top last night's takings for Saturday's quarter-finals: "Long may they [England] continue and hopefully get to the final".
