In this Chronicles Tifosi Patreon members-only episode extended preview: How did Milan let a 2-0 home lead slip against Roma? Tammy Abraham was back in the headlines after saving Mourinho for the second match in a row. And a deep dive on Milan's squad depth. Should Pioli be looking to the transfer market to strengthen his squad? In the rest of this week's episode, which you can hear in full by joining the Chronicles Tifosi Patreon community at serieachronicles.com/patreon we discuss... A weekend of emotions at Serie A stadia with tributes to Gianluca Vialli up and down the peninsula, and of course another crazy round of Serie A, with multiple last-minute goals and 2-2 draws. Inter was on the receiving end of harsh refereeing before former youth product Luca Caldirola came back to haunt them against a plucky Monza, which had Adriano Galliani leading the celebrations in the stands. Juventus continues to creep up behind Napoli, moving in to second place, with yet another late win and clean sheet. Is the Allegri blueprint the one which will be crowned at the end of the season? And can they close the gap further on Napoli in this weekend's top of the table clash? Napoli defeated Sampdoria in a match more notable for the beautiful tributes to Vialli and Sinisa Mihajlovic, which we discuss in depth. ****** Sponsor the show: See serieachronicles.com/sponsor. ****** This episode is sponsored by Calido Media.

Which sparks an interesting discussion about family connections and individual identity. In the full members-only episode which you can hear by joining the Chronicles Tifosi Patreon community at serieachronicles.com/patreon Mina and Nicky also discuss... It's the age-old baddies vs goodies story in the Argentina v Netherlands quarter final (you can decide for yourself which is which!), and it had Mina and Nicky appreciating the sheer shithousery of it all! The beauty and resilience of this Croatia team, with perhaps the best midfield in the tournament and a courageous captain in Luka Modric. What happened to Brazil? We talk Tite's tactics and selections against Croatia. In a game of fine margins, did France strategically give England a couple of penalties to make sure that the three lions would go out on penalties yet again? We joke! But is this England team cynical enough to eventually be able to go all the way in a tournament? Should Portugal have started its quarter final match with Cristiano Ronaldo or even Rafael Leao? And Nicky Bandini and Mina Rzouki give a beautiful and emotional tribute to American soccer journalist Grant Wahl, who tragically died while covering the World Cup in Qatar. ****** Sponsor the show: serieachronicles.com/sponsor. ****** We recommend: Ignition: The world's first client engagement and commerce platform for professional services.

In this Chronicles Tifosi Patreon members-only episode extended preview: Adriano Del Monte joined Nicky Bandini to discuss that moment that Cristiano Ronaldo walked past him in tears in the players' tunnel after Portugal's defeat by Morocco in the World Cup quarter final, which was likely the last match of his career at a World Cup. The importance of family along Morocco's World Cup journey, and the surreal atmosphere as Brazil was knocked out of the tournament by Croatia. Adriano also discusses the best moments he has experienced, including the fans, matches and teams he has covered, as well as how special it was to work alongside former Socceroos goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer and Azzurri legend Alessandro Del Piero at the Australia v Argentina round of 16 match.

We're recording at half-way through the Round of 16 and we reluctantly say goodbye to USA and Australia, two teams which have entertained despite low expectations.

"Someone, somewhere, grow a backbone and actually stick up for something because this is ridiculous". In this Chronicles Tifosi Patreon members-only episode preview: Nicky is outraged at the continuing harassment of fans at the World Cup showing support for LGBT+ people, the faux-woke FIFA President Gianni Infantino and his offensive speech, and the spineless national football associations which easily backed down from wearing the "1Love" captain's armband because of FIFA's threat of issuing yellow cards.

This first of our World Cup 2022 episodes is a very special one in which you'll get to know Mina Rzouki and Nicky Bandini like you never have before.  Their perspectives on the Qatar World Cup and the troubled nature of the tournament being held there, with the country's discriminatory laws against LGBT+ people, its treatment of migrant workers and, of course, the many thousands of migrant worker deaths in the 12 years of preparation for the tournament. Mina and Nicky also talk about their memories of their experiences growing up supporting Italy in the World Cup. You will recognise yourself and your own family in their memories of family, heartbreak and celebration, as they describe where they were, who they were with and how they felt at various World Cup moments. Add to the mix their favourite World Cup songs and commentary (cue Caressa!), as well as their thoughts on who might win the tournament, dark horses, and the England team: will they "England it up"?

Are we seeing the rebirth of Moise Kean after his brace against Lazio, which brings his tally to 5 goals in his last 5 games? Are we witnessing the redemption of Juventus and Max Allegri, and the start of a run toward challenging Napoli for the Scudetto, despite the fact that the bianconeri are currently 10 points adrift of the Neapolitans, albeit now remarkably in third place? Has the criticism of Max Allegri been harsh, given the injuries Juventus has suffered and now fighting back to third in the Serie A table? Should Federico Chiesa be a starter or is he more effective coming off the bench? In the rest of this week's episode, which you can hear by joining the Chronicles Tifosi Patreon community at serieachronicles.com/patreon we discuss... Cristiano Ronaldo's sensational interview with Piers Morgan and whether there is anything to the speculation that CR7 could be rejoining Jose Mourinho at Roma in January. Could it be a match-up that works, or would it be destined for disaster? As well as Jose Mourinho's man management and Roma's problems scoring goals at the moment. Was that a bit of a wobble from Napoli, conceding twice in three minutes when were 3-0 up against Udinese, or was their response to their momentary lapse more evidence of how good this team is? Inter is making a habit of coming back after falling behind, with a win at Atalanta after trailing the Bergamo club. Has Milan declined since winning the Scudetto last season, or are they on track to be the main challenger to Napoli? And how is the relegation battle shaping up, with chances of survival already looking bleak for Sampdoria, Cremonese and Verona? Will we be seeing the Genovese clubs trade places come the end of the season, with Samp only managing 6 goals in 15 matches in second-last place and Genoa currently sitting third in Serie B? ****** Sponsor the show: serieachronicles.com/sponsor. ****** We recommend: Ignition: The world's first client engagement and commerce platform for professional services.
