The World Cup of hangovers! England fans nurse sore heads after celebrating 3-0 ... trends now
England fans are waking up with sore heads today after celebrating their thumping 3-0 victory against Wales at the World Cup 2022 in Qatar last night.
Commuters reported trains being noticeably empty on Wednesday morning after Gareth Southgate's men advanced to the knockout stages, which will see them first clash with Senegal on Sunday.
Fan zones across the country are quickly selling out of tickets for the highly-anticipated match, which will kick-off at 7pm.
It comes after pubs across the country roared last night when the Three Lions finally broke the deadlock of the first half with a stunning freekick goal from Marcus Rashford.

'Head is a bit fuzzy this morning after watching and celebrating England's win last night,' one fan wrote on Twitter, 'Work will drag today I can tell.'
Another said: 'Hate getting up on these cold early mornings but it's even worse when you're hungover... but this is the punishment for stopping up late celebrating England's win... wish I was still in bed.'
One commuter added: 'Train is empty this morning after an England match... hangovers', next to a laughing emoji.
It comes as venues across the country hosting viewing events for Sunday's Senegal clash are quickly selling out.

England fans were filled with optimism for their country's chances following last night's triumph.
Marketing student Hermilla Emanuel, 18, said: 'I think we will get to the semi-finals. We have a good team.
'Jude Bellingham is my favourite player. He is my age and has a lot of skills and grew up here in Birmingham.
'If England don't win the World Cup, I hope it's Portugal as I love Ronaldo and would like him to win it before he retires.'
Her friend, architecture student Gracieth Vemba, 19, added: 'My favourite is Raheem Sterling. I feel he is a really good aspect to the team. I think we have got a chance but Brazil and France are both looking really good.'
Design manager Glenn Cook, 30, said after the result: 'Who knows what is possible?
'They have got a good squad. Maybe we will be swept away by a higher quality team but this World Cup has showed that there are no certainties.'

'Based on our previous displays I wasn't that hopeful but they are a half decent side and after the Euros we expect a lot.
'I would like to think we'd beat Senegal and perhaps they will build on that and just get better.'
Jubilant workers had bragged of swift exits from the office, with many heading straight to the pub on a day when some £215million is expected to be spent on booze.
Generous bosses had allowed staff to be flexible in the hours running up to the much-anticipated clash in Qatar.
Some had even been offering to provide a £25 bar tab for drinks and food, and paracetamol for the inevitable sore heads tomorrow morning.

Gareth Southgate's Three Lions have won the last six matches against their rivals, but Rob Page's men, led by talisman Gareth Bale, need their first win over England since 1984 and other results to go their way as their last 16 hopes hang by a thread.
