The Longshot: Spain Basque in Euro glory, we bask in Rob wins

A Sporting Chance

Spain’s Nico Williams was surely the player of Euro 2024.

Felicidades Patatas Bravas Espana! Now that England didn’t win it we can at least give a gaze back to the Euros just gone without a sense of nausea.

There have been calls in northeast Spain for the region to finally secede considering how influential Basque players were to ultimate victory. At the centre of their defence Aymeric Laporte was French-bred. Robin Le Normand was French-bred too. Are those pain-ful attempts at a forced pun? Well, one baguettes another.
