UK police chiefs have criticized the government's last-minute decision to allow pubs to stay open until 5am on 6 July for England's World Cup match against Mexico. The National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) expressed concern that the late announcement would force police to divert resources from community policing and potentially lead to increased violence and domestic abuse due to alcohol-related incidents. Chief Constables Mark Roberts and Scott Green emphasized the need for responsible drinking and urged patrons to remain considerate. Former Metropolitan Police officer Andy Trotter warned of potential disruptions as people emerge from pubs in the early morning, clashing with bleary-eyed commuters. Downing Street defended the decision, stating that plans were announced as quickly as possible following confirmation of England's progress in the tournament.

While the sandwiches will be unavailable in England, they will remain available in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
