⚽🐾 Rex has spoken… and bedtime is bedtime.

The Criterion fully supports England, but with the Mexico v England Last 16 match kicking off at 1:00am on Monday 6th July, Rex has decided he needs his beauty sleep.

So, we won’t be open for this one.

However, Rex fully endorses anyone who wants to skip sleep, drink locally and cheer England on live to head over to the nearby Captains Cabin, who will be open for the game.

Come on England… just quietly, please. 🏴🐶⚽
