With no five-star Grand Prix action this past weekend, Sam Watson and Charlotte Smet dove into something even more exciting: a first-look prediction at the 2025 European Championships in La Coruña. From sunshine in Spain to rain in Ireland, the pair analyze the top nine European nations (plus a bonus U.S. spotlight) and debate who should be on the teams, who’s in top form, and who’s got something to prove.

Using EquiRatings data and plenty of strong opinions, Sam and Charlotte play selector, building potential squads for each nation based on current ratings, clear round percentages, and a healthy dose of intuition. Expect controversy , surprises, and excitement as we look ahead to one of the year’s biggest championships.
