I'm still in shock how we can't see Italy in this tournament. They were just eliminated by North Macedonia and couldn't even fight for their World Cup ticket against Portugal in the last round of the qualification. This is definitely unacceptable for me. Because Italy have a wonderful squad normally. They were the champions of the Euro 2020 too. A team like this shouldn't even struggle against a team like North Macedonia. I would have really liked to see them here.
This is not the first time they have failed because in 2018 they did the same thing and failed to go to Russia at that time.
Actually there is nothing wrong with Italy but indeed they are a big team and with above average quality players which makes them overconfident and this is the second period they have failed and interestingly they failed towards the end. It's a shame but we can't do much because from an individual point of view they were good but from a team perspective they were lacking and they failed.
we can't understand why a team like the European champions can't qualify for the world cup, this failure repeats the 2018 edition of the Russian world cup where Italy also failed to qualify for the finals in 2018, of course this is a disappointing result considering the last match when they faced Switzerland where Jorginho's penalty bounced over the crossbar so that they had to go through the play-offs.but in a surprise flyover they lost to North Macedonia so Italy had to re-impair their dream of playing in this year's Qatar world cup, even though there is absolutely nothing wrong with being as strong as Italy, exactly the same as when they won the European cup one year earlier, but Dewi Fortuna has not sided with the pizza nation so that they failed to qualify again this year
