English fast-food chain Greggs has stopped selling their Mexican sandwich range for the duration of July 5 due to England's World Cup round-of-16 clash with Mexico, they have announced on Instagram.
The range, which includes a Mexican chicken flatbread, Mexican chicken oval bite and a Mexican chicken baguette, has been benched from all English stores on the day of the match.
In a post on Instagram, Greggs wrote: "After careful consideration we've decided to say adios and bench our Mexican chicken sandwich range from all English shops for the duration of the day (July 5).
"This is due to the following reasons: It's coming home."
The sandwich range will be available in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, with the company joking, "we know whose side you are on."
