England Fans Urged To Have Sex Imminently To Get Euro 2020 Paternity Leave

England fans are being told to have sex imminently so that maternity and paternity leave will be timed perfectly for Euro 2020.

The European Championships take place across 12 cities from 12 June to 12 July next summer and a whole host of Three Lions fans on Twitter are raising awareness on social media to highlight that a forthcoming pregnancy will mean two weeks' leave during the tournament.

Men and women alike have been sharing the advice with others:

Ladies take note!!
If your other half is wanting more sex than usual this week there is only 1 REASON....
He will have 2 weeks paternity leave when the Euro 2020 football is on!! Think smart ladies! ⚽️⚽️
Happy Friday. 👋🏻😹

By my calculations if I get the missus pregnant this week, I will be in line for 2 weeks paternity leave whilst the Euro 2020 football tournament is on! pic.twitter.com/BAvB3n6aSg

Of course you'll have to put up with the sleepless nights thanks to the constant crying and screaming but it really is a genius plan when you think of it.

And judging by the amount of reaction online, it seems like plenty of people are onboard with it so don't be surprised if half of your colleagues are expecting very soon.

Earlier this year, Harry Maguire's fiance Fern Hawkins gave birth to their daughter Lillie Saint - nine months after England beat Colombia on penalties in the World Cup round of 16.

The link between football success and birth was evident back in Euro 2016 as well as Iceland witnessed a record-breaking amount of births following their famous 2-1 upset win over England.
