Outgoing Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has celebrated England’s incredible 3-2 win against Mexico, which saw them book a spot in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, reports BritPanorama.
Goals from Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane helped the Three Lions secure one of their most memorable victories in recent memory. The match was marked by intensity, with England playing over 40 minutes with ten men following Jarell Quansah’s dismissal.

There will be several tired heads this morning, with goalscorer Bellingham urging supporters to “call in sick.” He remarked, “Have another shot and text your bosses to say you’re not coming in tomorrow. That’s about it.” Bellingham, reflecting on the match, noted, “If you can’t enjoy a night like this, just for one night, then I don’t know what it’s worth.”
The 23-year-old also acknowledged the celebrations taking place across England. He said, “I can imagine it’s carnage. No matter where you’re from or what you do, I can imagine everyone is together.” Bellingham expressed pride in the team for bringing the country together, affirming the significance of such victories for fans.
In the wake of their success, Bellingham acknowledged the need for focus as the team prepares for their quarter-final clash with Norway in Miami on Saturday. “It is still one game at a time. At the end of the day, it is just a round of 16 win,” he emphasized. He also praised the atmosphere at the Azteca Stadium, stating it was “by far the best I have played against in international football.”
As the Three Lions look forward to their next challenge, the thrilling win against Mexico serves as a reminder of the highs that football can bring, energizing a nation united by sport.
