Who knew when we started this that the #EURO2024 final would feature two of #TeamLLC?! Sunday’s decider sees Super Greg Walker of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿take on Superestrella Patricia Rueda Díez of Spain 🇪🇸. Let’s remind ourselves of these two #SPAENG legends…

We’ve made it to the quarter finals! And #TeamLLC have got players in both this evening’s games! Let’s remind ourselves who they are and who they’ve tipped to win #EURO2024

Player 6, Patricia says Spain 🇪🇸 will win
Player 1, Stefan reckons “some underdog”

#ESPGER starts now!

[LLCatEdinburgh @LLCatEdinburgh]

The second #EURO2024 quarter final sees Helena 🇵🇹 take on Sylvain 🇫🇷 in #PORFRA. Helena has tipped Portugal to win the whole tournament. Sylvain has gone for (checks notes) Scotland 🤨. At least one of them might be right! Enjoy the game!
