They think it's all over - and it is now, at least for England.

These celebrating football fans didn't know of the traumas to come as they cheered one of England's goals against Romania at the Bread and Cheese pub in Thundersley.

Footie fanatic manager Kathy Kirby ensured that, with Euro 2000, there has been even more of the "beautiful game" to enjoy - despite England's 3-2 loss last night.

Fantasy football lea-gues, face-painting, a waitress service and several TVs plus a big screen are some of the features.

Kathy said: "We are a big football pub anyway, and terribly patriotic.

"We all dress in our England kits and football shirts. My waitresses say they have never been hugged and thrown about so much in all their life.

"It is not quite as big as the World Cup, but when people are united in cheering it is the same thing."

Whistle happy - football fans hail an England goal before Romania's late penalty winner changed the pub's mood from ecstasy to agony
