A MAJOR pub chain is giving away free pints at 800 bars tonight – here’s how to get one.
Greene King has partnered with footballing icon Jimmy Bullard to support the nation in their quest for sporting glory.
The pub chain announced that there will be one free drink available for customers if England score – no matter if it’s win, lose or draw.
The Three Lions scored twice against the Netherlands thanks to Ollie Watkins’ last minute winner which means punters can claim their free pint.
All customers must do is say the words “England scored, please pour” to redeem their complimentary pint now that the final whistle has been blown.
The offer entitles pubgoers to 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.
Greene King has enlisted former professional footballer and avid pub lover, Jimmy Bullard, 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!”

Clair Preston-Beer, Managing Director for Greene King Pubs, previously said: “We know that in football tournaments the winning result is never guaranteed.
“We want to support the nation and guarantee a good time win, lose or draw so no matter the result should England score, we’ll give our guests a free drink on us!
“At Greene King, we are proud to be the nation’s go-to place to eat, drink, and relax with your family, friends, and colleagues – we have something for everyone.
“We can’t wait to welcome customers into our pubs to watch the semi-final and hopefully claim a free drink on us – fingers crossed!”
England fans are now gearing up to roar the Three Lions to a sensational Euros victory this weekend and end 58 years of hurt after tonight’s stunning win.
In a titanic Euros semi-final between two heavyweight nations, the Dutch went ahead on seven minutes with a scorching drive from Xavi Simons.
But skipper Harry Kane equalised 11 minutes later with a penalty which he won.
Supersub Ollie Watkins sent England to their second Euros final in a row — with a sensational 90th-minute winner against the Netherlands.
Watkins said after the game that he told team-mate Cole Palmer he would score and the Chelsea man would provide the assist — and that is exactly that happened.
He said: “When I saw it in the bottom corner, it was the best feeling ever.
“There’s been a lot of criticism but at the end of the day, we’re in the final. Forget all the outside noise – we’re in the final.
