Today it's the turn of Italian football to take the spotlight. To say it has been a disappointing week for Italy would be an understatement. Missing out on their third World Cup in a row is quite incredible for the four time champions. But why is this happening? What is the root cause? Because this is now more than a blip. Add to this a dive back into horse racing ahead of Grand National weekend and look at whether the race has lost its magic, and yet more record losses for Chelsea, and we have ourselves a breakdown.Disclaimer:The views and opinions expressed on this podcast are for informational and entertainment purposes only.

As a football fan, this one hurts.Italy — four-time world champions — missing out on the FIFA World Cup again. Not once, not twice, but three times in a row. It doesn't feel real… and it raises some serious questions.In this episode, I try to make sense of it all from a fan's perspective. What's actually gone wrong? Is it the way football is being developed in Italy? Has Serie A fallen behind? Are we just not producing the same level of players anymore?I'm not claiming to have all the answers — but this is an honest breakdown of where things might be slipping, and why a football giant like Italy is struggling to keep up in the modern game.Because at some point, you stop calling it a shock… and start wondering if this is the new reality.

Few journalists, certainly non-Italians, know Italian football as intimately as The Athletic' James Horncastle, co-author of The Soccer 100. For Horncastle, Italian football presents a fascinating paradox: a nation celebrated for beauty, fashion, and La Grande Bellezza built its footballing identity around winning ugly. Forged in post-war austerity, the Italians embraced a minimalist, counter-attacking style—yet their greatest defenders, Paolo Maldini and Franco Baresi, were anything but ugly players, mastering their craft with elegance and brilliance. Italy, Horncastle reminds us, has also produced a remarkable lineage of world-class goalkeepers, from Dino Zoff to Gianluigi Buffon. And despite its defensive reputation, the position Italians venerate most is the creative number 10—the fantasista embodied by Roberto Baggio, the subject of an upcoming biography by Horncastle. Then there's Maradona, the “spiritual Italian” who found his perfect home in Naples, a city with a magical realism quality that matched his unique genius. Unlike England, where football loyalties follow class lines, allegiances at Italian clubs like Roma and Lazio are drawn along political divisions—a legacy of Cold War tensions when Italy hosted Western Europe's largest communist party.
