We’re sure many supporters will also be looking forward to heading down their local pub to watch all the England team action tonight. And one chain is offering free pints if the Three Lions score
England fans are getting excited about whether the Three Lions will win against the Netherlands in the hotly anticipated semi-final tonight.
And we’re sure many supporters will also be looking forward to heading down their local pub to watch all the action. However, wouldn’t it be even better if you got a free drink while you were there?
Well you may be in luck, as pub chain Greene King has announced that England fans can bag a free bevvy if England score this evening.
All customers have to do get their free drink is say the words “England scored, please pour” to redeem their complimentary pint once the final whistle has been blown.
Following the success against Switzerland in the quarter final with Trent Alexander-Arnold bagging the winning penalty, Gareth Southgate’s team will be hoping to move one step closer to bringing football home with a win against Netherlands this evening.
And after hearing the news that they’ll get a free pint, England fans will be hoping even more that England bag a few goals.
Having scored give goals in the tournament so far, with Jude Bellingham having scored two of those, the odds for free pints is looking good for the nation, but as always in sport, nothing is guaranteed.
Greene King has enlisted former professional footballer and avid pub lover, Jimmy Bullard, to give his take on what will happen in the match tonight. He said: “After having a career in football, I’ve seen first-hand the passion this nation has for the sport and as this tournament has proven, nothing is guaranteed in football.
“What can be guaranteed though is a good time at the pub, because no matter the result, win or lose, you’re surrounded by your friends and fellow fans, so you can celebrate or commiserate together.
“The addition of a free pint is enough to put a smile on my face, especially when the games so far have been so agonising to watch. There is only one place I’ll be heading to watch the semi-final game and that’s my local Greene King pub, because once one of our players hit the ball in the back of the net, I’ll be enjoying a refreshing pint – free of charge! No brainer!”
Jimmy also appeared in an Instagram video on Greene King’s and his own Instagram page announcing the news, and fans seemed excited to get their free drink.
One person joked: “You’d get smashed if it goes to penalties,” as Jimmy replied: “Good point! I’ll need to check the small print on that one!”
Luckily for you, we did check the small print and unfortunately the offer states you only get one free drinks, even if England score more than one goal.
Pubgoers can get one free pint of either Greene King IPA, Yardbird Pale Ale, Old Speckled Hen, Old Golden Hen, House Bitter, False Nine, Level Head Session IPA, Flint Eye Dry-Hopped Lager, Hazy Day Hazy IPA, Prior Life All Day IPA, Ice Breaker Pale Ale or a soft drink alternative.
