Pubs including the Danish Invader in Stamford and Bills Bar in Oakham stayed open late for the England game.
Rutland & Stamford Sound's Dean Cornish is in Mexico and says it was a game of a lifetime for a football fan such as himself to see it up close in the stadium.
"Absolutely superb scenes here in the Azteca Stadium. What a win from England. 3-2. Amazing atmosphere throughout that whole game. England completely up against it in those last 10, 15 minutes with just 10 men. But incredible, England have got a win. They deserved it. In the end, two great goals from Jude Bellingham, a penalty for Harry Kane. Absolutely amazing here to be here.
This was the proper I was there moment here in the Azteca Stadium. Absolutely superb England into the quarter finals."
