You can't imagine how brilliant Italy's World Cup record is, and at the same time, you can't imagine how bad Italy's record has been in the last 4 World Cup competitions! On the emblem of the Italian team, 4 gold stars are embroidered, representing Italy to win 4 World Cup titles, second only to 5 stars Brazil. However, in the early hours of this morning, when you wake up, you will find that Italy has once again missed the World Cup.
Let's take a look at the 2006 World Cup, italy won the championship under Lippi, their results: the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the group is out! 2014 Fifa World Cup Brazil, group out! The 2018 World Cup, did not participate at all! 2022 World Cup, still did not participate!
In the early hours of this morning, Italy participated in the semi-finals of the World Cup play-offs, facing the weak North Macedonia, the Italian team bombarded the whole field, 30 shots and even had the opportunity to hit the empty goal, but once did not grasp it, and finally was killed by North Macedonia 1-0! Such Italy is unimaginable!
Clocks dialed back 1592 days ago, on November 14, 2017, when Italy was sprinting for the 2018 World Cup. But they stumbled and could not qualify directly in the group stage, but could only participate in the play-offs. Facing Sweden, which is not yet very strong, the Italians still played with no confidence after a 0-0 draw at home and away to Sweden. There was even a scene where when Italy was 1-0 behind and there was little time left in the game, when the then head coach Ventura was replaced by De Rossi.
As a Roma veteran, De Rossi was furious, and he ranted at Ventura: Why change me? It's all this time, shouldn't there be another striker? - Yes, at this time, the Italian head coach has been six gods, and finally Italy did not qualify for the World Cup in Russia.
This morning, Italy 0-1 North Macedonia, the players have no growls, all that is left is crying!
