“CAN'T Keep Relying On KANE!” Simon Jordan & John Terry SLAM England Performance + Mexico Prediction
What was said
"It's a national sport. It's a national moment. I don't want to get carried away with the importance of football, but it is such a thing that brings society together."
Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced emergency legislation allowing pubs to remain open until 5am for England's 1am kick-off quarterfinal against Mexico, but rejected Thomas Tuchel's request to let children skip school on Monday. Simon Jordan argued there is merit in allowing children to witness such an inspirational national sporting moment rather than forcing them to attend school exhausted. The 1am UK kick-off time has created logistical challenges for fans wanting to watch the match.
