Italy at Euro '96

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.

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.
