Alistair Bruce-Ball is joined by Guillem Balague, Rafa Honigstein and Mina Rzouki who discuss the fallout after Italy fail to qualify for a third World Cup in a row.

Mina gives an insight into why it's not happening for Italy and an issue with developing players in Italy and the type of players they want.

Asmir Begovic, who played for Bosnia in their last and only World Cup in 2014 joins the pod and explains why a smaller nation was able to play with less pressure and how that worked in Bosnia's favour.
