Arsecast Extra Extra: Euro 2020 final aftermath
In this short bonus episode, James and I chat about the final of Euro 2020, which saw Italy beat England on penalties. From an Arsenal perspective, it was hard to see Bukayo Saka miss his spot-kick, but we discuss what led to that, the game itself over 120 minutes, Gareth Southgate's decision making and more. We touch on how this might impact a 19 year old, but feel confident that this is something that he's got the character to overcome – as his bravery to take the penalty in the first place demonstrated.Love Saka.

In this episode James and I chat about Euro 2020, the focus on supposed Italian cynicism, and look forward to the semi-finals, before we discuss the decision to send William Saliba on loan again next season.

There's also some Matteo Guendouzi talk as he prepares to join Marseille on a permanent basis (eventually), plus questions about the structure of the that deal, whether we might play 3 at the back next season, Patrick Vieira going to Crystal Palace, Alexandre Lacazette, and lots more.Visit Arsebiz to support fellow Gooners.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.
