How we would change the League Cup, plus the state of Italian football since the Euros

How we would change the League Cup, plus the state of Italian football since the Euros

There might not have been any cupsets, but there were some impressive showings from the WSL2 sides in the Subway League Cup this weekend! Newcastle took Man City to the wire (what a game!), while Nottingham Forest took Everton to penalties, too.


Chloe and Rachel discuss the best of the action and the future of the tournament itself. How could (or should) it be changed? They also hear what you have to say about the competition!


Plus, European football expert and On The Continent regular Nicky Bandini joins the pod to talk about the big changes in Italian football after a game-changing summer for the national team.
