As Eddie Howe huddled up with his deflated troops during the first half drinks break, a resignation was written all over their faces. Bournemouth were doomed.

We've all heard of the infamous holders' curse, right? We saw it with France in 2002, Spain in 2014 and Germany in 2018. Italy, however, said 'f*ck it, we'll stretch this curse over three bloody tournaments'. How 'bout that? Since Marco Materazzi opened his gob and Fabio Cannavaro held the golden goodness aloft, the Azzurri have amassed a grand total of one victory in World Cup matches, and even that comes with an asterisk. How Raheem Sterling beat Gianluigi Buffon from 48 yards out and...

Calcio is back. After being forced to draw to a temporary close on 8 March and following months of deliberating and arguing, Italian football is set for its long-awaited return. Admittedly, we've already been handed a tasty antipasto in the form of the Coppa Italia only the week before, and that trio of hard-fought appetisers have only whetted the appetite further for the main course. And boy oh boy, we're in for a treat. A look around Europe could lead you to believe that the rest of the...

Frank Lampard has some important decisions ahead for the remainder of the season. Selecting the midfield is one of his trickiest dilemma. The choice of playing Jorginho and Mateo Kovačić together has been confused by the return of the talented Ruben Loftus-Cheek, while the fitness of N’Golo Kanté and breakthrough of Billy Gilmour have given the boss some things to seriously think about. Lampard has seven midfielders in the senior ranks, with a midfield three in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 setup his...
