England’s football team is doing so well that fans are now thinking twice about their trips to the USA.
It’s official—England has made it to the semi-finals, and everyone’s buzzing with excitement! When the final whistle blew on Kane and the team’s game last weekend, the stands erupted with cheers… and maybe a little bit of panic too.
While many of us at home were busy guessing who England might play next, thousands of fans already in the USA found themselves rethinking their return flights, time off work, and hotel plans, thinking, “Well… this all might need to change.”
For lots of fans, what started as a quick football trip has turned into “just one more match”—and if England beats Argentina, maybe even more! Luckily, O2 understands what fans are going through. Their ‘Roam ’til it comes home’ offer is helping by crediting back US roaming charges from 6 July to 20 July for O2 Pay Monthly Classic Plan customers. That’s one less thing to worry about.
Because let’s be honest, when England’s this close, nobody wants to head home just yet!
So, how are fans coping?
They’re extending their trips
Most England fans had a simple plan: fly over, catch a few games, soak in the atmosphere, then head home. But football loves surprises, and so do fans! Every win makes staying a little longer feel totally worth it—even if it means an extra night at a hotel and another message to the boss explaining your delayed return.
They’re changing flights again and again
With every win, it’s time to check airline apps, compare prices, and convince yourself that sticking around for the next match is the right move. Nobody wants to be the one who flies home just before the final. Surely there should be insurance for that!
They’re booking extra hotel nights
Staying longer means finding somewhere to sleep, turning a short visit into a search for extra hotel rooms or spare beds nearby. “Just one more night” quickly becomes the fan motto!
They’re working remotely
Thanks to the pandemic, many jobs can be done from anywhere. Video calls from a hotel room in Atlanta feel the same as from home, and answering emails from a café before heading to a fan park? Totally normal. The only challenge is the time difference—early UK meetings might mean late nights in the US—but if it means catching one more England match, it’s worth it!
They’re keeping everyone back home updated
If you’ve traveled thousands of miles for the football, your phone is working overtime. From sharing photos in the family chat to FaceTiming friends during breaks, plus reassuring loved ones that yes, you will come home… eventually! That’s exactly why O2’s ‘Roam ’til it comes home’ was created—to help fans stay connected and enjoy every moment.
One thing’s clear: if England’s staying, so are we.
