“3:1 for Spain”. Dance juror Joachim Llambi sparked a passionate debate with his tip for today’s quarter-final.
That’s how we know him: Joachim Llambi (59) is as famous as he is notorious for his polarizing opinions. Now the “Let’s Dance” juror has taken a position on today’s European Championship quarter-final between Germany and Spain: “3:1 for Spain… What’s your tip?” As expected, his followers are ambivalent about Llambi’s prediction.
“There hasn’t been a real caliber yet”
In contrast to many German celebrities who are betting on Germany today, Llambi is betting on Spain. How is that possible? As the son of a Spaniard from Barcelona, Llambi has two hearts beating in his chest. He is convinced of the superiority of the current Spanish team and sees them as the “best team in the tournament.” In order for his prediction to come true, he hopes that “none of the DFB stars will exceed their own expectations.”
The German national team has put in a decent performance so far, but “there hasn’t been any real caliber players.” Some of his followers naturally see things differently: “It’s time for Spain to lose a game,” they say. Or: “It will be a difficult game. But I would never bet against Germany.” Others agree with Llambi: “I see it the same way, even if I would feel very sorry for Toni Kroos.”
Commitment to disadvantaged children
Joachim Llambi’s football tip is no coincidence. When his blood pressure isn’t being worked on by a “Let’s Dance” celebrity’s dance performance, his heart beats for football. The sometimes caustic dance judge from Duisburg regularly professes his support for his favorite club, MSV, also known as the “Zebras.” Even though Llambi has had to endure a lot of mockery on the show because of his favorite club’s third-class status, Llambi doesn’t care. He stands by his club – also in a charitable sense. Away from the cameras, Llambi is the patron of zebrakids eV, which helps disadvantaged children. It remains to be seen whether Llambi is right with his European Championship tip. As one Llambi follower writes: “El mejor equipo va ganar – may the better team win.”
