Fantasy Euro 2024
Who wants in on Fantasy Euro 2024?
Matches start on June 14, the game play looks similar, but somewhat different to, FPL. The link above should send you to the league page, but if not, the code is "axc7cs".

I haven't really kept up with the LIV/PGA details, but wouldn't this be the one major where LIV golfers wouldn't be allowed?

Re: A non-majors Golf Thread for 2023 and beyond
I'm leaning the other direction on this (*from Trav) When someone dies on the road, shutting it down is protocol. Usually for many hours. Cops say don't go, don't fucking go. Seems especially important when the reason it is shut down is the death of a pedestrian. Not that I'd expect Scheffler to kno...
