Show Notes
It’s official, this summer's World Cup will be the third consecutive tournament without Italy… Gabby & Mark are joined by Italian football writer James Horncastle to explore the 'curse', the political fallout in Rome and the questions over youth talent and foreign players that will feel oddly familiar to England fans who lived through 2010 in South Africa.
Plus, the guys ask how seriously we're supposed to take England's defeat to Japan and the weekend's FA Cup quarter-finals with another trophy on the line for Arsenal.
