Nope they will bottle it like they always do. 🇦🇷🇦🇷

They will beat Argentina.

You're 'put off ' England winning the world cup because the chemist might be closed. That's possibly the daftest thing I've read on here today!

MN People should go to the pharmacy first before the GP or A&E.
Also MN so daft to moan that chemists are closed for three days.

They won’t. France will win!

whiteroseredrose · 12/07/2026 17:42

Unlikely. I find it so stressful watching England. They have form for snatching defeat from the arms of victory.

JenniferBooth · 12/07/2026 17:43

@WhatFlavourIsIt ppl will have medical appointments booked. Then will have them cancelled with just a couple of days notice

purpleme12 · 12/07/2026 17:46

It'd be great if they did but I don't think they will

the80sweregreat · 12/07/2026 17:49

IF they give another bank holiday , it’ll probably be later on in the year I suppose. We don’t get as many as other countries do , so be nice to have one in November or something like that maybe ?

Purplecatshopaholic · 12/07/2026 17:51

No. It will most likely be France.

Exactly...........well in advance so it can be planned for and nice to have one in the autumn

@JenniferBoothlots of pharmacies inside supermarkets still operate on bank hols and there is usually one open in every area. I can imagine the team talk ' ok lads you've done great but let's just take our foot off the gas,.we don't want to risk a last minute bank holiday.

Our nearest SUPERMARKET pharmacy is in another town so taxi charging BH fare as no public transport running.
And repeat scripts tend to get sent to the same pharmacy each month Usually one in the same town not miles away. Im not blaming the England squad. Its that overprivileged PM we have

the80sweregreat · 12/07/2026 17:56

The government has a new leader soon , I doubt they will even think about it. I could see them hosting a reception for the winning team , but nothing much for us. Maybe one of those coins you get for the royals on sale but with a picture of the team on it ! Or a celebration mug that you have to buy.

WhatFlavourIsIt · 12/07/2026 17:59

@JenniferBooth- calm down mate!. I'm sorry you don't have a SUPERMARKET close. I still believe England will win this yr and finger's crossed we get a lovely bank holiday to boot!

Like a PP said a November one. IT would be far in advance enough to plan for and nice just before the Christmas rush starts.

inkgirl · 12/07/2026 18:04

Be nice if they did, but no I don't think the will

Skatefordinner · 12/07/2026 18:05

I don’t think so no. I’d love them to but I don’t think they have enough Bellinghams or Kanes to see it through.

We don’t have a great history with things like this do we? That said I’ll be sad when the World Cup is over. It’s been brilliant and I have loved seeing all of the fans fro different countries and getting to know more about the other countries’ players. Oh and of course… Jude Bellingham 👀 ahem.

itsgettingweird · 12/07/2026 18:10

I didn’t think they’d beat Mexico (Tbf neither did many based on statistics!)

So I guess anything can happen.

Netcurtainnelly · 12/07/2026 18:42

Unlikely but you never know. Whatever happens they have done really well. Gone further than most others,and given us entertainment.

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 12/07/2026 18:48

Possibly...think if Spain go through we have more of a chance. However the defending needs to be a lot better Wednesday to be in with a chance of actually getting to the final..

LlynTegid · 12/07/2026 19:54

There is a parade planned through London on the 21st.

thetinsoldier · 12/07/2026 19:55

Depends what’s the ref is like on Wednesday!!

the80sweregreat · 12/07/2026 19:56

A parade already ? They haven’t won anything yet

atsasnuffothat · 12/07/2026 20:16

The only positive in England winning might be that you actually SHUT UP about 1966. At last.

pinkdyno · 12/07/2026 20:16

No. The quarter final should have been a clear win. Two controversy’s highlight this.
