ROME : Eight months after winning the European Championship trophy and being feted as national heroes, Italy's soccer team have crashed back to earth, missing out on the World Cup finals for the second time running.
Following their 1-0 capitulation against underdogs North Macedonia on Thursday evening, reigning European Championship holders Italy will not be part of the 2022 World Cup.
There were four names leading the shortlist for Manchester United in their efforts to secure a new manager for this summer, but just as the process was gathering momentum a new option has emerged for the Old Trafford decision-makers.
It’s certainly going to be strange not seeing Italy at the 2022 World Cup.
As is the case during most international breaks, a host of Manchester City stars have jetted off across the globe this week to represent their nations. 13 members of Pep Guardiola's first-team squad have been handed international call-ups, although only two were in action on Thursday night.
CLASIFICACIÓN MUNDIAL | ITALIA 0 — MACEDONIA DEL NORTE 1
Italia ha logrado cancelar en una noche terrible, la peor de su historia, toda la alegría y la ilusión que había generado con su triunfo en la pasada Eurocopa. Macedonia del Norte, el equipo número 67 del ranking FIFA dejó a la Azzurra sin Mundial por segunda vez consecutiva y se jugará la final de la repesca ante Portugal. Caer en Oporto habría sido entendible, esto es inexplicable.
