A nation awaits the Three Lions' Euro 2020 final clash with Italy at Wembley Stadium this Sunday.
Victory would mark the men's football team's first major tournament win since the 1966 World Cup.
And momentum is growing for Boris Johnson to announce a national day off - with Keir Starmer calling on him to give the nation its ninth bank holiday of the year if England triumph.
Any announcement seems almost out of the question before an actual victory, because the Prime Minister fears being accused of jinxing the result.
But Labour's leader urged him to announce a bank holiday if England do win, telling the Mirror: "The whole country is incredibly proud of what Gareth Southgate and our England heroes have achieved already. History has been made.
"If we win on Sunday, the country should get the chance to celebrate it properly with an extra bank holiday, granted in the name of the England team.
"I’ve got a strong feeling, it’s coming home."
TUC general secretary Frances O’Grady said it should be a springboard for more bank holidays permanently, as "UK workers get fewer bank holidays than most of our European counterparts."
So what is actually under consideration and what could Boris Johnson announce if there is a victory on Sunday night? Here's what you need to know...
A bank holiday this coming Monday?
The Mirror understands the government is looking at the idea of a bank holiday, or day of national celebration, if England win. But insiders are yet to settle on any date, are terrified of jinxing the Sunday night clash against Italy - and so this Monday sounds very unlikely.
More than 300,000 people have backed a petition on Parliament's website for a day off this coming Monday.
It's understood Boris Johnson does have the legal power to declare a bank holiday this Monday at a few hours' notice, and he didn't rule it out publicly, saying: "I think that would be tempting fate."
But it is thought he's ruled out an emergency bank holiday this Monday, because announcing it at 10pm the night before would create havoc for businesses.
One Whitehall source told the Mirror: “Logistically I don’t know how that’s possible. You’d only be able to announce that at 10pm if they win, which seems a little bit unreasonable for employers."
A bank holiday later in the summer
This seems more likely.
Reports suggest July 19 or a date in August have been mooted as possible dates for a special bank holiday - bringing the year's total to nine.
However, it's understood discussions are even now still at a very early stage with no date settled on.
A Downing Street spokesman said any plans for a bank holiday would be set out "in the usual way".
He added: "We don’t want to pre-empt the result and tempt fate, but we would obviously set out any future plans if necessary in due course."
Some kind of day of celebration
Even if there is not a formal bank holiday, it's likely the government would want to do something to mark England's biggest victory since 1966.
The question is, what? Any celebrations will likely have to come after July 19, in order to comply with Covid rules.
So even if there's not a formal bank holiday, it's possible there could be some other series of events organised or supported by the government to mark an England win.
A victory parade or bus tour
It's thought there have been discussions about a possible victory parade or bus tour for the squad.
But anything like that is fraught with difficulty because a mass gathering would likely breach Covid regulations in England before July 19.
Even after July 19, the government could stand accused of acting irresponsibly if it encourages huge crowds while cases are soaring beyond a predicted 50,000 a day.
So it's a big unanswered question at the moment.
We do know pubs will stay open later
The Prime Minister has already changed the law to let England's pubs stay open until 11.15pm this Sunday, to reduce the risk of customers being told to leave before the match ends.
The catchily-named "The Licensing Act 2003 (2020 UEFA European Championship Licensing Hours) Order 2021" overrides pubs' individual licenses to allow them to take last orders a little later.
In drafting reminiscent of Cinderella, the order declares there will be a legally-enforced "celebration period" from 9am on Sunday to 11.59pm.
Hopefully the England squad will not turn back into a pumpkin.
Some school pupils will get a lie-in
School heads are considering allowing staff and pupils to enjoy a lie-in on Monday due to the Three Lions' participation in the final.
A number of schools have already said they will allow pupils to start later on Monday if they want to.
Gemma Donnelly, head of Braywick Court School in Bray, Berkshire, has told parents that children will not be marked as late if they are in by 10.30am.
In a letter to families, seen by PA, Mrs Donnelly said: "This gives you the option to stay up late and watch the match, or watch it in the morning before coming to school if you would like to."
And employers are being urged to be flexible
Bosses are being urged to discuss flexible working arrangements with their employees to allow them to start later in the morning after the Euro 2020 football final.
The TUC said millions of workers will be watching England play Italy on Sunday evening, the biggest game for the national team since England won the World Cup in 1966.
General secretary Frances O'Grady said the game promises to be a "historic moment" for the country, adding: "Bosses should talk to their staff about flexible working arrangements ahead of Monday morning - perhaps allowing them to start later and claim back their time afterwards.
"And bosses should show flexibility too towards the 2.2 million workers who work on a Sunday - many of them key workers.
"Many of them will want to watch the match, and they should be able to, either at work or by finishing early and making up the time."
Downing Street had a slightly cooler response. Prime Minister Boris Johnson's official spokesman said: "We would want businesses who feel able to consider it if they can, but we recognise it will vary depending on the business and company."
