PHOENIX — Fans from all over the Valley lined up dark and early outside George and Dragon English Pub Monday morning ahead of the day's slate of FIFA World Cup matches.

The pub opened its doors earlier than usual, at 5:30 a.m., to accommodate the time change with the games being held in Qatar.

England faced off against Iran at 6 a.m. Phoenix time, which lined up perfectly with when the pub was allowed to serve its first beers.

The pub is opening at 8 a.m. on Tuesday ahead of the 9 a.m, start time for the Mexico vs. Poland matchup.
