Constructor's Note
Warning: This one is a bit rough, with a number of entries that I'd consider rather obscure. I tried to clue them straight, but that likely still will leave some head-scratchers. Online search encouraged!

    I liked it and found it fair with good crosses to harder clues

      Thanks so much for solving and for the feedback!

      I remember when this team won the world cup and my Basque linguistics professor changed his facebook profile to a black square in disgust

          Fun puzzle! Not sure you saw the Boswords finals online stream, but you may need to correct your clue for CHAMPIONS😉
          • Sendhil Revuluri constructor · 2024-08-01T08:57:54.942Z
            Oh! Please do tell — I was there in person for the first time so I don’t know what happened online!

              Erik finished the puzzle fastest, but had a couple of mistakes. Matthew Luter finished it like three minutes later (cleanly!) and won the championship.

                Thank you! Fixing now.

            If I could do it with no hints or googling, it's not that bad :)
