Chris and Kyle are back together again to talk through the Euro 2024 knockout stages, and look at how England lost the final to Spain.
The pair begin by reflecting on the quarter-final against Switzerland and discussing what changes to the back four - Konsa for Guéhi - meant; how you approach extra time in a knockout tournament; the pressure on defenders to not make a mistake; and how the team planned for, and carried out, penalties.
They then switch their attentions to the Dutch and the semi-final and how you tackle a team full of Premier League players. Kyle talks about playing against teammates like Nathan Aké, marking Virgil van Dijk at set-pieces and trash-talking him; and what he saw when Ollie Watkins was slid in by Cole Palmer in the final minute of the game.
Chris and Kyle then look back on the emotions of the final, how Spain were allowed to dominate, what the feeling was when the game got back to 1-1, and how close Kyle was to blocking Marc Cucurella’s cross that led to Spain’s winner. He then discusses his emotions afterwards, and how he cried because of losing his second Euros final. He finishes up by before sending a message of thanks to Gareth Southgate.
