Following the match, which started at 02:00 BST on Monday, Mick Allen from Dartford in Kent said: "The World Cup is coming home! If I wasn't on crutches I'd be dancing down the street!"
Connor Burns, who watched the game in Brighton, said: "I've got work in four hours, but it's alright, we'll do anything for our country."
Graham Munro, who also watched the game from the seaside city, said: "The defending was so heroic, especially when we went down to 10 men."
"It was so tense and stressful," Munro added.
Rosie Hunt, who watched the game with Burns, said: "I felt like I was on a rollercoaster, it was awful!"
