This follows previous relaxations of licensing laws during England's knockout stage matches.

The British Beer and Pub Association has expressed concern that some pubs might not be able to show the match without temporary event permits.

England tritt in der WM gegen Mexiko in den letzten 16 am Sonntagabend Ortszeit an, aber das Spiel beginnt am Montag um 1 Uhr morgens für Zuschauer in Großbritannien aufgrund des Zeitzonenunterschieds. Anfangs gab es Diskussionen über die Verlegung des Spiels zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt, um Fans unterzubringen, aber es wurde bestätigt, dass der Zeitplan unverändert bleibt. Als Reaktion auf die Bedenken der Fans kündigte Premierminister Sir Keir Starmer an, dass Pubs in England und Wales bis 5 Uhr morgens für das Spiel geöffnet bleiben dürfen, wodurch die Notwendigkeit für individuelle Anträge beseitigt wird. Trotz dieser Entspannung zitieren viele Pubbesitzer, darunter Tommy Higgs von The Three Horseshoes, Personalprobleme und Nachbarschaftsüberlegungen als Gründe für die frühe Schließung. Große Ketten wie Wetherspoons und Greene King planen, Standorte zu öffnen, während die British Beer and Pub Association einen Rückgang der Anzahl der Pubs landesweit feststellt.

Greggs, a British bakery chain, has temporarily removed its Mexican chicken sandwich range from stores in England ahead of England's upcoming World Cup match against Mexico.

While the hospitality industry praised the move, police warned of potential risks such as increased violence and domestic abuse linked to alcohol consumption during similar past events.

Als Reaktion auf die öffentliche Nachfrage und den politischen Druck hat die britische Regierung in letzter Minute beschlossen, dass die Kneipen in England und Wales bis Montagmorgen 5 Uhr geöffnet bleiben dürfen, nachdem das entscheidende WM-Spiel Englands gegen Mexiko um 1 Uhr britische Zeit begann. Anfangs widersetzten sich die Minister der Lockerung der Lizenzgesetze und machten sich Sorgen über die Belastung der Polizeiressourcen, aber Premierminister Keir Starmer genehmigte schließlich die Änderung und nannte sie eine "populäre Kehrtwende". Das Innenministerium wird eine dringende rechtliche Anpassung durchführen, um verlängerte Öffnungszeiten zu ermöglichen, obwohl einige sich Sorgen über die logistischen Herausforderungen machen, diese Änderung in so kurzer Zeit durchzusetzen. Die Entscheidung kommt inmitten der Kritik des Innenministeriums, weil es zu bürokratisch ist, und Oppositionsfiguren fordern schnelle Maßnahmen zur Unterstützung von Fans und Kneipen.

Tendenz-Einschätzung (Mitte): Der Artikel stellt die Situation neutral dar und hebt sowohl den anfänglichen Widerstand der Regierung als auch den letztendlichen Kompromiss hervor.
