“If you love soccer that much sit in a pub with a big screen TV and watch it while drinking and cheering to your heart’s content.”
Most (or at least many) of the pubs in UK are now closed due to the energy price spike (several hundred percent) due to ‘punishing’ Russia. But if the Brits save up for a few weeks, they can still afford the power to watch the games at home.
I've been through London and Cambridge twice within the last month and didn't see any pubs closed. Not saying it hasn't happened since, but all I saw were open and I drank in a few.
