      James it has been a while! I remember you told me a story about the 1934 World Cup where a player on Italy scored a great goal and the next day could not recreate it for journalists. Can you remind me who that player was?

      Ah, in my case I have a more obvious reason - my family is from there and I myself was born there (but grew up in the US).

      Interesting, I guess you got into Roma first and from there into the Italian NT? Thanks for your replies!

      In the late 1980s, I had to wait until the results of European leagues were printed in newspapers here on Tuesdays to find out the results

      I also supported Italy and have done to this very day. My interest grew when the internet came along and following calcio became easier.

      I have followed them ever since and through their Italy NT players - especially Giannini in those days -.......

      In 1989 when I was 18 I saw Roma lose 1-3 to Milan and I fell in love with the club from Rome, its stars, passion, colours and tifosi.

      which were shown while English clubs were banned from Europe 1985-90 after the Heysel stadium disaster.

      In the late 1980s I used to watch brief European soccer league highlights on TV

      Well, you're not the first to be puzzled by it!

      An Englishman who supports AS Roma and the Italian national team? What's the story behind that?

      Just out of curiosity.

      I'm free Sunday, pretty much all day. Would 2:00 pm your time, work for you? I'll also check with the other guy and see if it works for him.

      OK, I will be busier on Saturday than Sunday, so Sunday would suit me better if it's OK for you.

      Sorry for the delay in replying, I was on holiday for a week. Yes, I would be happy to join you. When do you plan to do it?

      Hey! I saw that you would be interested in doing the world cup podcast. I know another person who is interested as well. Would you like to talk soon (zoom or another platform) about setting up a podcast? We would love to have you join!
