It's a bumper new episode of the pod, with Jonny Nicol guesting for the duration after a weekend full of the good and bad (VAR?!) of the J.League.

In Part 1 Sam chats about his trip to the Euro 2020 Final on Sunday, and then Jonny reviews Gamba Osaka's ACL campaign, before we discuss Kaoru Mitoma's rumoured move to Brighton (via Belgium) and speculation over Kyogo Furuhashi's future (to 36:53).

Then we move on to J1 Matchday 22, and kick things off with three huge upsets where bottom five teams stunned top half opponents (to 1:06:56), before we round up the other four games.
