McDonald’s has teased that it is giving away free food to mourning football fans following England’s devastating defeat to Italy in the Euro 2020 final.
Loss in elite level sport will always be tough to take – but Maccies has a plan to ease the pain.
It was a triumphant run to the final by a team that captured the hearts of the nation and brought people together after what has been a tough 15 months, but millions right across the UK have woken up today to the reality that Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions squad couldn’t quite clinch the win to bring home England’s first international victory since 1966.
After a 1-1 draw, the game subsequently ran through extra time to be taken down to penalties – with the Italians taking a 3-2 victory at Wembley.
To make things a little easier, whether you’re hungover or just hungry, the ever-popular fast food chain has taken to Twitter this morning to let Brits know they can bag a code for up to £10 off McDelivery orders placed through the My McDonald’s app.

We are still proud and we still believe. ⚽️ 🏴🦄
If you fancy trying to get yourself on of the all-import codes, all you’ll need to reply to the McDonald’s UK social media team on Twitter.
Those who get a reply will then be given a code in their direct messages on Twitter, which can be applied at the checkout and £10 will then automatically be knocked off the bill.

There’s no limit on how many codes will be dished out but it’s probably worth getting in sooner rather than later to avoid missing out.
The codes can be used throughout the day, so you can get £10 off for breakfast, lunch or tea, but they can only be used once, and if your order is more than £10, then you’ll have to fork out for the difference.
Delivery charges still apply.

Commentator Arlo White shows off what the Old Trafford gantry walk looks like
Danny Jones
Ever wondered what it’s like to be up in the gantry in a football stadium, say, Old Trafford? Well, we certainly have.
You see the odd shot of the commentators sat there on the telly from time to time but it never really gives much away either and, at some venues, it’s quite a ways up there. There’s a little bit of allure behind these mysterious parts of footy grounds that most fans will never get to see.
After hours of mindless scrolling on the social media app, we stumbled across the well-known sports commentator‘s channel where he’s been showing off what it’s like to go in the gantry and one of them is his long walk to crow’s nest up at the Theatre of Dreams.
As it turns out, Arlo’s been doing these videos for a couple of years now, revealing how the gantry looks not only at Old Trafford but other big Premier League grounds too, such as down the road at the Etihad, Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium, Tottenham Hotspurs’ sparkly new ground and many more.
Another reason we found ourselves stuck on his TikTok for so long was also because of the other behind-the-scenes details he reveals too, even shedding light on how he prepares for games: note-taking, data sheets, how keeps himself warm up there during those cold nights on comms and so on.
