Former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has taken over as head coach of Germany and one of the first jobs on his to do list is the small matter of rebuilding the ‘identity’ of one of European football’s powerhouses.

After Italy great Alessandro del Piero claims The Azzurri have lost theirs, Zinedine Zidane is unvieled as the new Fance manager and Thomas Tuchel questions England’s football DNA - So, did World Cup winners Spain expose their European rivals or is national footballing 'identity' just an excuse?

Elsewhere, after the sad passing last week of one of England’s favourite footballing sons, Mark Chapman and Nedum Onuoha share some very personal memories of the great Kevin Keegan - the man who gave Nedum his first team debut for Man City, and also secured him a cheeky appearance bonus in the process.

Plus, reaction to the incredible scenes at Croke Park as Mayo broke a priest's 75-year-old curse to become Gaelic football Champions!
