"We are not as big as we'd like to be but we've got as many people as we possibly could."

He said the pub, which can accommodate up to 30 people at one time, also has outdoor settings with benches set up specifically for the match.

"It's fully booked so it's good especially on a Tuesday night but it will feel like a Saturday night - unless we lose and everyone's going to go home, which I hope is not going to happen."

"We came here the past two games. It's got a good atmosphere, people are nice and the guys are top notch. It is also nice to support a local business too.

"I hope England beats Germany with three or four goals.”

England will face either Ukraine or Sweden in the quarter-finals after they beat Germany 2-0 in the last-16.
