The conditional proposal: While millions of excited fans are looking forward to the clash between England and Argentina, there will not be an official bank holiday granted solely for winning the semi-final match.
Instead, Prime Minister Keir Starmer has indicated that a public holiday will only be put in place if the men's national team goes all the way and wins the final.
Starmer clarified he does not want to "jinx" the squad's chances of victory.
Proposed celebration date: Should Thomas Tuchel's side triumph in the tournament final on this Sunday, the celebratory bank holiday is highly expected to be designated for Friday, July 24.
This gap allows the squad enough time to return home from North America so the Football Association can organise an open-top bus parade through London.
