🇮🇹 CAN ITALY WIN EURO 2028? Nima Tavallaey and Carlo Garganese return for a massive weekly flagship review show running a total tactical post-match breakdown of the Azzurri’s dominant 3-1 win over Turkey at the Stadio Renato Dall'ara in Bologna! The guys dive deep into an optimistic future for Italian football under Roberto Mancini 2.0. They analyze Gianluca Scamacca’s fine opener, Issa Doumbia’s outstanding Man of the Match full international debut, and Francesco Pio Esposito’s mind-blowing goalscoring trajectory. They debate who the ultimate winners and losers are from this international break—explaining why fresh talent and long-suffering Italy fans come out on top, while Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Moise Kean, and Daniel Maldini face massive setbacks. 🔴 SUPPORT THE SHOW & LISTEN AD-FREE: Join our global community!

The guys then pivot to English football to run a deep-dive breakdown of the ongoing Manchester City financial investigation. Following recent guilty verdicts regarding sham commercial deals, they ask the ultimate question: is the Premier League at risk of a total institutional collapse mirror-imaging what happened to Serie A after the 2006 Calciopoli scandal? Finally, they award the "Baggio of the Week" to Alessandro Bastoni's redemption arc alongside Michael Kayode and Doumbia's historic debuts, expose Jamie Carragher’s epic pistachio ice cream discovery as the "Premface of the Week," and mock the absurd sports-politics loop of Giovanni Malagò potentially replacing himself as FIGC/CONI president for the "Serie ASS of the Week"! ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS IN THIS EPISODE (00:00) - Intro: Optimistic Azzurri Future Under Mancini 2.0? 🎙️ (02:14) - Italy 3-1 Turkey: Scamacca Goal, Doumbia MOTM & Pio Esposito Record 🎯 (15:11) - Mancini 2.0 Restart: The Biggest Winners In The Azzurri Squad 📈 (25:09) - The Big Losers: Di Lorenzo, Kean & Maldini + Barella & Dimarco Starting XI Risk 🛑 (35:01) - Is Italy BACK?
