The all-Italian panel also discussed how Italy has influenced Australian football, reminise on legends like Del Piero and Vieri and much more! With insightful analysis, stories of Italian heritage, and the much-loved SBS Moment of the Week, this episode captures the energy, character, and emotion that define the new era of Australian football.
