All-nighters, phone bans and school screenings – how they watched England’s great victory

“Write a message to your bosses and tell them you’re not coming in.”

Man of the match Bellingham scored two goals in two minutes in the first half.

While some industries, such as manufacturing and retail, have been less flexible, others have offered bright-eyed fans to catch up on sleep.

Staff at the Rochdale distribution center needn’t follow Bellingham’s advice when watching the game on shift.

“It’s not good for my heart, but football is my heart,” said one worker.

Joshua Ilash, head of London-based MT Financial Group, told the BBC that it was a “no-brainer” to allow staff to start work at 11am.

“It’s good for morale,” he said, adding that while it wasn’t particularly effective Monday, it was worth it.

Octopus Energy allows engineers to start home visits as late as two hours, while workers in office or in-home roles looking after customers can also start and finish later.

Kevin Craig, founder and CEO of communications agency PLMR, is a huge football fan and went to watch the England vs Panama match last weekend.

He gave his staff – around 100 staff in four offices in London, Coventry, Birmingham and Ipswich – permission to stay awake and watch the game at 12pm.

“I knew instinctively that it was the right thing to do,” he told the BBC.

“Besides making money, we try to support the family. I know it’s not possible for all the organizations on the ground, but … these days are special.”

But it was business as usual for Sainsbury’s and Aldi supermarkets in their stores on Monday. In addition, the manufacturer of the car, Nissan, has not changed.
