It's Sports Bizarre. We're going to go full weird and bizarre in a way you will not see coming. The gloves are off. The hunt for the weirdest. Hang on a second. This is so bonkers. This is terrible. You can't be doing that. Strangers. This is nuts. Yeah. This is borderline psychotic. This is only going to just increase on the shock. Most unbelievable. This guy's the greatest villain of all time. There's a lot going on. Come keep up. Stories to ever occur. I'm learning a lot today. Hold on to your hands because we're just getting started. In the world of sport. That's the worst script I've ever heard. Well, it's not over. Oh, hello. I've gone too early.
Sports Bazaar. Tells a member of the media to suck it and keep on sucking it. Rupert joined a local circus and was learning the art of swallowing live snakes. Threw the ball down, mounted his horse and rode away and never played again.
It's time for the leaders of the hunt. Get the whiteboard out or I refuse to go any further. It's Titus O'Reilly and Mick Malloy.
Yes, welcome ladies and gentlemen to another Sports Bazaar. I'm Titus O'Reilly. Joining me once again, Adam Rosenbach's back again. You can't get enough.
Good to be back.
Mix away at the moment and we're in the middle of our World Cup. Deep dive on all sorts of things World Cup. We've done the history of FIFA, which is running at the moment. We've grabbed some of the episodes we did early in the lead up to Qatar. And then we're going to add some more on what's happened since Qatar. So that's another four years. Yeah. You'd be shocked there's more corruption coming. And do you know what the best thing is? I saw my mum the other day and she goes, I've been really listening to the FIFA series. There's a lot of corruption. It's just corruption after corruption after corruption. I go, yep, that's FIFA.
That is unbelievable that a parent can work out a podcast. Did you set her up? No.
Is she listening with headphones? They're all good. They're more tech savvy than me. They only really watch YouTube. They're like my teenagers.
God, mate, if I had to explain a podcast to my dad, the pictures that I would have to draw and – The description, the deep dive.
A bit low when I explained to Mick what a podcast was. Yeah, yeah, basically.
Very similar. And can I just apologise? I know the listeners can't see this, but my eyebrows are singed off because I watched, obviously, Australia v Paraguay down at Fed Square and the flare just went right up in my eyes.
Oh, yeah, that really ran amok.
Yeah, we did.
Soccer fans in Australia don't always help themselves. Like I stuck up for them about the Fed Square thing. Yeah. And then they went a bit nuts. Yes.
Credit to the people down at Fed Square. Many flares, not one machete. So Victoria on the up.
New for Victoria. So today we always are looking at bizarre circumstances. And one thing when I was just looking at this World Cup, Perhaps for the bizarrest thing, which is the question we're going to answer today, is why isn't Italy at the World Cup? But not only that. They've missed the last three, right? They've missed the last three. That's unbelievable. And when you think about it, I thought we'd do a bit of a deep dive into why. It's like Australia not making the Ashes. It's totally like Australia not making the Cricket World Cup. Yeah. I thought I'd start with a quote. A dark dawn for Italy, the day after failed qualification again. How is it possible with so much talent I feel sick for the nation?
That was none other than Russell Crowe on social media.
The doyen of Italian soccer.
After Italy were knocked out of the qualifying for 2026.
