Not everyone wants a day off
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is considering adding a bank holiday if England wins a World Cup final, but faces pushback from business groups and social services. Countries like Ecuador and Paraguay recently declared public holidays after World Cup victories, though Paraguay's President Santiago Peña faced criticism for a spontaneous holiday declaration that disrupted businesses.
