We don’t normally support this sort of madness, but a lot of you will like this. Greene King has partnered with footballing legend Jimmy Bullard. Yes, that’s the England former footballer and coach in the picture. And yes, you get a free pint if England score.

The nation can grab their free pint at their local Greene King pub if England score against Netherlands in the hotly anticipated semi-final tonight. All customers need to do 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 men will be hoping to move one step closer to bringing football home with a win against Netherlands this evening.

“After having a career in football, I’ve seen first-hand the passion this nation has for the sport…”

Having scored five goals in the tournament so far, the odds for free pints is looking good for the nation, but as always in sport, nothing is guaranteed.

Bullard 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.

“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. I’ll be enjoying a refreshing pint – free of charge! No brainer!”

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.

It is a sport that moves crowds from all over the world and brings cultures together. There is so much market penetration that there are people who are fans of teams from countries other than their own. They buy all the clothing, meet with family and friends and go to the games to defend their team. It’s a phenomenon, and one that Africa is enjoying.

The African continent has not been left out of this expansion. Soccer in Africa has evolved enormously since Nigeria won a Gold at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. This caused a large number of players from that continent to be present in the teams and leagues in France and England, in addition to being selected as hosts of the 2010 World Cup.

Thanks to this development, the betting market in Africa has also increased, with people moving from betting on their favorite teams informally to using bookmakers located in different cities in Africa or online.

One of the most recognized online bookmakers in Africa is Bet9ja, which is based in Nigeria. It offers the opportunity to bet live in a secure and reliable way while watching soccer or playing any virtual game.

Bet9ja’s betting market is one of the widest ones, as you can bet on the most popular events, but also on the less known ones in the different disciplines (soccer, tennis, basketball, football, rugby, volleyball, ice hockey, boxing, cricket, golf, MMa, water polo, etc.)

In the soccer area, bets can be placed at an international and national level. Among the options offered are the soccer leagues of England, Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Portugal, Belgium, Australia, Turkey, Greece, Iran, Israel, Egypt, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, among others.

It is advisable that before placing any bet, either at Bet9ja or any other bookmaker, you analyze all the probabilities of each soccer game you want to bet on. To do so, you can make use of expert opinions, statistical data analysis and predictive platforms.
