FREE pints are up for grabs with a major pub chain offering punters giveaways across their 2,700 bars.
The pint party is set for next Wednesday - but beer drinkers will need to brush up on their football knowledge first.
Greene King, celebrating the release of its new "false nine" golden ale, will serve pints free if customers can name a footballing "false nine".
On the eve of the Euros, the offer comes after a Greene King survey found nearly three in four Brits don't know about the false nine position.
A false nine is simply a striker who has a license to drop towards the midfield.
This is to help link the midfield with attacking plays, or offer options out wide.

The "false" name comes from the position being designed to confuse the opposition's defence.
How to claim your free pint
Punters should first find their nearest participating pub - there will be 532 across the nation - using the false nine pint finder.
Earning the free pint is simple - just name any player who has performed the false nine role when ordering the false nine ale at the bar.
That includes those voted as the top five all-time false nines in the Greene King survey.
They are:
- Lionel Messi
- Phil Foden
- Johan Cruyff
- Roberto Firmino
- Francesco Totti
The legendary Lionel Messi is a classic example, with Phil Foden, Johan Cruyff, Roberto Firmino and Francesco Totti all cited as other prominent false nines in the pub chain's survey.
The survey shockingly found more than 20 million Brits don't know what the offside rule is.
Meanwhile, 18 per cent admitted to not knowing any football lingo at all.
A host of other football jargon bamboozling many Brits include the terms draft excluder, overlap, diagonal and studs up.
The controversial VAR was actually backed by 36 per cent of respondents, although a quarter conceded not knowing how it worked.
Sadly, one in five pretend to know more about football than they do in bids to avoid coming across as stupid.
Of those who hold superstitions, nearly a quarter believe in the apparent magic of wearing the same underwear for each match.
Speaking on the false nine position, former Arsenal and England forward Alan Smith understood the confusion.
He said: “The modern false nine is quite a tricky position to define so it’s not surprising to hear the nation is a bit confused by what exactly it means.
"From Messi to Firmino, there’ve been some iconic footballers that have played in this role."
Greene King marketing boss Will Hemmings said: "We’re going to be giving away the pint for free for one day only in selected Greene King Pubs, but only to those that can prove their football knowledge by naming a false nine player."
