Tempting fate? Pubs across England are sold out for Euros final already as optimistic fans snap up tables BEFORE Denmark semi final

Pubs across the country are already fully booked for Sunday's Euro 2020 final - despite England not even playing their semi-final match yet.

Gareth Southgate's men face Denmark at Wembley at 8pm on Wednesday, and a win will put the team in its first final since 1966.

England are considered favourites for the match - though pundits have warned that Denmark shouldn't be underestimated, especially in the light of their emotionally-charged run following Christian Eriksen's shocking collapse in their opening match.

Despite this, English fans seem to be in a confident mood, with pubs across the country reporting fully booked tables for Sunday's final.

If England beat the Danes they will face Italy or Spain at Wembley at the showpiece event, with 60,000 in the crowd.

Pubs will be the most popular form of viewing, however, and supporters have taken to social media to bemoan the lack of tables available.

One fan wrote: 'Not being able to book a pub in London for the Euros semis or final is absolutely gutting.'

Another said: 'I literally can't find any.'

While a third added: 'You know what I hate about England getting so far.... Can't get a f***ing table in a pub playing the game anywhere... the final date has been booked in all pubs over checked since the group stages and no chance of getting anywhere for Wednesday.'

Huddl, Nottingham's newest sports bar, says all its tables are fully booked out while the city's Southbank City has just one table left for the final. 

In Portsmouth, The Old Customs House is fully booked out for the final while there is an 'awful lot of booking' for the final at The Baffins. Several other city bars have also revealed that they have no seats left for the final or semi-final matches.

Boris Johnson, meanwhile, will extend pub opening hours on Sunday night in case the Euro 2020 finals go into extra time and penalties.

Pubs will be able to serve thirsty punters until 11.15pm - rather than the usual 10.30pm Sunday closing time - on the night of the Wembley showdown.

Late opening will go ahead even if the Three Lions lose their titanic clash against Denmark tomorrow night and don't make the finals.

No10 hope it will avoid uproar if fans are kicked out before the final whistle.

The emergency law change allowing pubs to stay open for an extra 45 minutes will be put to the Commons today.
