Show Notes
Chris and Kyle return for part two of their look back at Euro 2020, and we've reached the denouement of the competition: the quarters, semis, and a dramatic final against Italy.
They start with the trip to Rome to face Ukraine, and Kyle reminisces about a great England performance, capped by a goal from his friend Jordan Henderson who he came through the age groups with. It's then onto the semi-final at Wembley against Denmark, and Kyle's relief at Harry Kane's extra-time winner that sent Gareth Southgate's side through to take on Italy in the final.
Kyle also discusses how he felt the night before that final, the journey into Wembley, what was said in the dressing room pre-match, how he felt England scored too early (again), and how they had to defend almost constantly until penalties. The boys then reflect on the spot kicks, the atmosphere in the dressing room after the game, before looking forward to Euro 2024.
