What was it like during the 2002 World Cup?

I was too young to remember much of it but I know that games were shown at silly o'clock GMT! What was it like going to the pub that early on and what was the overall experience like at the time? Did you stay up through the night or did you show up to the pub fresh and then make a day of it? How many of you were showing up to work that morning X pints deep?
