Portugal and Italy, one of these teams are going to be eliminated from the World Cup Qualifiers and this makes me really sad. I would really like to see both of them competing in the World Cup. Because they both deserve to be a part of this tournament. But there is nothing we can do about this unfortunately. And if I choose one of them to join the World Cup, I'd prefer seeing Italy there.

Yes, one of the two great teams can be sure will be eliminated more quickly in the 2022 world cup, the two teams are currently in one lane in the play-offs, and if we look at it they will most likely face each other in the final of the play-off route C later, now there are only 3 tickets left and the final winners from each lane will get the remaining 3 tickets from the European zone to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar

In fact, Italy and Portugal are to blame for not being able to qualify directly for the World Cup and now they have to worry until the last minute.
They didn't have difficult groups, but they played very poorly in the qualifications and now they only have this last chance through additional qualifications.
Italy is the current European champion but failed to qualify for the last World Cup in Russia in 2018.
That's why I'm cheering for Italy because I think it would be a disaster for them not to qualify for the World Cup again.

if you look at their matches in the qualifying phase, it's actually not too difficult considering that the team that is in the same group as them is still below them.
However, their reality is different, such as losing their spurs in yesterday's phase which made them thrown into the KnockOut Phase.
I myself saw in the last few matches Italy and Portugal seemed lacking in tactics and their formation was too monotonous
