And now for 'Euros Hangover Monday'! Bosses warned to expect mass sickies after England fans party late into the night celebrating Jude Bellingham-inspired 1-0 win over Serbia READ MORE: Serbia 0-1 England - Euro 2024: All the reaction By Martin Robinson, Chief Reporter Published: 02:12 EDT, 17 June 2024 | Updated: 03:00 EDT, 17 June 2024 e-mail View comments More than a million England fans are expected to pull sickies on 'Hangover Monday' today - and eight million will work form home - after Jude Bellingham dragged the team to a nervy 1-0 win over Serbia at Euro 2024 in Germany last night. A diving header from Real Madrid’s Jude was the difference in Gelsenkirchen as Gareth Southgate’s side started their campaign with a victory - only their second ever win in an opening game at the European Championships. Inside the Arena AufSchalke the majority of the 54,740 supporters inside were from England, including the WAGs and families of the team.
The city's fanpark was also rammed with 40,000 fans. While back home millions watched on TV at home as well and supporters packed pubs and hundreds of fan zones, with thousands of pints of beer being sent airborne as Bellingham put his country ahead in the the 13th minute. More than a million English fans are expected to skip work today, after 30 million pints were downed in pubs and homes.
Another eight million will likely work from home, experts said. An England fan celebrates England's 1-0 win over Serbia at the packed BOXPark Wemb.
