Mateo Retegui is headed to Saudi Arabia for a boatload of money while the Italian peninsula is re-inheriting three ageing EURO champions who will fight for the vacant spot with gli Azzurri, Federico Chiesa may have just been given a surprising opportunity thru some dark Ndragheta arts, Gianluigi Donnarumma snaps Jamal Musiala's leg and Neuer goes full Gestapo, Lazio can't sign players and must roll with Mussolini Jr., and Thomas Partey's criminal case demonstrates the risk of keeping a dirtbag under contract. That and more -- enjoy.

A two-parter this week as the Club World Cup has been met with empty stadiums and lukewarm, diluted American fanfare -- but that didn't stop President Donald Trump from welcoming Juventus to the White House to watch him threaten Iran over their nuclear program to kick off the tournament. Italy's U21 EURO campaign came to close after a heroic display from a new star and a horrible display from an established one. And Sam went on TikTok Live while playing in goal for a local team that I do not care about, which his team's captain did not appreciate in the slightest. That and much more, rejoice and enjoy.

Gennaro Gattuso is somehow the new coach of the Italian National Team (credit/blame Gigi Buffon) and Gabriele Gravina is putting Gli Azzurri at risk. Israel go to war with Iran before going to war with Italian football later this year and some people can't complete their work. The Montreal Mafia saw devastating arrests, including of a figure whose name is dangerously close to the host of this show. Il Gattopardo is a terrific work of fiction and the Netflix remake of the book is mandatory viewing for any lovers of Garibaldi. The U21 EURO is underway. And much, much more. Enjoy.

Gli Azzurri sensationally risk missing another World Cup just as soon as qualifiers get underway, Luciano Spalletti is finally deposed in the worst way possible by old man Gabriele Gravina, who will now select a replacement CT that will almost certainly not be as good an option as Carlo Ancelotti. Plus, Italy votes not to reduce the number of years a foreigner must have residency before applying for citizenship. We are back, baby.
