Italy FAIL to qualify for the World Cup again | Football Ramble

That’s it, England have played their last game on home soil before the World Cup. It might not have inspired much World Cup fever, but don’t worry, Marcus is here to put that right. He even gets Luke and Jim on board the Harry Maguire train.

Elsewhere, there will be no World Cup fever at all in Italy after they fail to qualify yet again as they lose on penalties to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Plus, Luke explains why Roberto De Zerbi could be a disastrous appointment for Tottenham, after the former Brighton and Marseille manager was put in charge at the North London club.
