Italy at Euro '96

The Gentleman Ultra

Richard and Emmet return to discuss Italy's foray in England in the Brit-pop tinged summer of 1996.

Gli Azzurri actually made it to the competition this time, after the doomed attempt to qualify for Euro '92.

Things however didn't pan out like everyone thought, because of, well, Sacchi.

Italy were drawn in Group C alongside Germany, Russia and Czech Republic.

How did they fare out? Listen and learn of Sacchi's sheer lunacy.
