I'm We should have known to expect this from football, but it manages to deliver an outcome in the final that makes Arsenal fans supporting both Italy and England miserable.

This is the Arsenal Vision Euro 2020 Daily. My name is Elliot Smith and you can block me

on Twitter at Yankee Gunner. Oh boy. What can even say? I mean, it is really the case where

I know there will be people listening to this who supported Italy and are happy for Italy, but because

I am guessing the majority of people listening are Arsenal fans, even the Italy supporters have to feel a little bit heartbroken at how the final

kick that determined the outcome was struck, who struck it, and how it was saved.

I don't really know how we get over it.

I was thinking to myself before this all went on, we'll sack a start, and what if he scores

the winning goal?

And in my mind, I was like, it doesn't really matter. He's had a great tournament. Literally, the only thing I don't want for Saka is for him to miss a penalty in the shootout. And then to miss the final penalty, to lose the finals. And we will discuss why he was in taking it, what that means for him going forward. And the whole match, the whole tournament, the whole thing with Phil, who is being brave enough to be here right now. We'll let you know that we will be doing another podcast tomorrow, regular podcast, but we'll probably focus on this game and where we go from here with Saka and with England and football generally. But here with me is Phil Costa as ever. You can find him on Twitter underscore Phil Costa. Hello, Phil. Hello, Elliot. Hello. Yes. Not great, not great. But, you know, maybe I need to get it out and talk about it. Sorry, maybe this can be a cathartic experience for me. Football bloody hell, right? Bloody hell. Why did I like this game again? God, it's terrible. It is funny because there are people that sometimes accuse me of being negative. You know, they're like, oh, you just need to be more optimistic. You got to be more positive. And today I feel that I can say to those people, what have we learned? Never ever have hope at all because it's,

it is the hope that kills you. I want to start with the penalties and work our way back.

So obviously like Saka misses the last penalty. And it is, it is the worst case scenario for a player

who having had a breakthrough season has sort of a breakthrough season, has sort of a breakthrough tournament,

becomes a bit of a beloved, almost meme of the tournament, but also a player who's had a big influence.

I feel like maybe an influence we've overstated a bit as Arsenal fans, but still an influence nonetheless, an important one.

He gets dropped for the game.

He gets subbed on England having done very, very little.

He admittedly doesn't do much himself in the time he's on.

And then it's not just that the 19-year-old has to take a penalty.

It's that he is the fifth penalty taker that players like Sterling and Grilish

are not given that responsibility.

And he is, the first thing i want to ask you is just
