THE Three Lions are set to take on Norway this weekend, in what is set to be a thrilling World Cup quarter-final.
With kickoff at a more civilised time of 10pm on Saturday night, many will be heading down to the pub to cheer the boys in white on.
But if your wallet is feeling a little worse for wear, you should take advantage of freebie offers from your favourite pub.
Many pubs have apps and to encourage punters to download them offer a free drink as an incentive.

Free drink at random location using Dusk
Dusk is an app which gives users a free drink everyday.
In the past these have included things like a free pint of Guinness or a Gin and Tonic.
This app cannot be used at any pub you want, so you will have to travel to the bar Dusk has chosen that day to redeem your free drink.
However, the bar will always be within your local town or city.
It is free to download and you need to link a bank card to avail of the offer.
However, linking the card will not result in a charge on your bank account.
