A two-parter this week as the Club World Cup has been met with empty stadiums and lukewarm, diluted American fanfare -- but that didn't stop President Donald Trump from welcoming Juventus to the White House to watch him threaten Iran over their nuclear program to kick off the tournament. Italy's U21 EURO campaign came to close after a heroic display from a new star and a horrible display from an e...

Gennaro Gattuso is somehow the new coach of the Italian National Team (credit/blame Gigi Buffon) and Gabriele Gravina is putting Gli Azzurri at risk.

The Montreal Mafia saw devastating arrests, including of a figure whose name is dangerously close to the host of this show...
