The format was very successful and, as of 2006[update], they have broadcast comments on every football match for the European Championships and World Cups since 1986.
The trio also employed mock national anthems, such as the Sex Pistols' "Anarchy in the U.K." for England, Krautrock tracks for Germany, etc.
In 2006, Sky Sport offered Gialappa's Band as an alternative live commentary to its official broadcast featuring Fabio Caressa and Giuseppe "Beppe" Bergomi — which coincided with Italy winning that year's World Cup, its first since 1982 and its fourth title overall.

During Mai dire Gol's long run, Gialappa's Band hosted such actors as Teo Teocoli, Gene Gnocchi, Antonio Albanese, Paola Cortellesi, Bebo Storti, Claudio Bisio, Neri Marcorè, Maurizio Crozza, Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo, Daniele Luttazzi, Gioele Dix, Luciana Littizzetto, Paolo Hendel, Fabio De Luigi, and many others.
