Keir Starmer is calling for unity as England gears up for their World Cup semi-final against Argentina! With the Three Lions as the last home nation standing, the outgoing Prime Minister wants Welsh and Scottish fans to back England, even with those age-old rivalries in play.
Thomas Tuchel’s team is set to face off in Atlanta, and a win could lead them to their first World Cup final in decades. A Downing Street spokesperson emphasised Starmer’s hope for everyone to rally behind England in this crucial match.
But what’s stirring the pot in Wales? It’s the possibility of an extra bank holiday if England lifts that trophy! Starmer previously hinted at the idea, though both England and Wales would need to be included due to Westminster’s hold on setting these holidays.
This prospect is triggering some mixed reactions, especially since calls for St David’s Day to become a national holiday have been denied before. If England triumphs over Argentina and clinches victory in the final against either France or Spain, mark your calendars for Friday, July 24, as a potential day off!
So, what do we think, Wales? Are you team England for this one, or is the rivalry too strong? Share your thoughts, and let’s see how this football drama unfolds! ⚽🏆
