The Government have rejected calls for pubs to be open for England's World Cup match against Mexico. Thomas Tuchel's side turned around their fortunes in a difficult 2-1 victory over DR Congo on Wednesday night, booking them a match in the next round against one of the co-hosts. The problem for England fans at home is that the kick off will be at 1am on Monday. Liberal Democrat MP Max Wilkinson called for a blanket extension to licensing hours for the match during business and trade questions in the House of Commons. Business minister Kate Dearden, however, confirmed the proposal would not go ahead. #BreakingNews #WorldCup #Football #England #GBNews Keep up to date with GB News at gbnews.com or on X @GBNEWS Become a Friend of GB News: gbnews.com/friend
