Italy miss out on World Cup qualification
March 25, 2022
Italy have been once again missed out on qualification for this year’s World Cup in Qatar.
The Azzuri played North Macedonia this morning (AEDT) and a stoppage time goal was enough to stop the European Champions.
Italy was on track to play Portugal in the playoff for the final European spot, but struggled in their showdown with North Macedonia.
It comes as one of the worst turnarounds in football history, having beaten England in the European final at Wembley less than a year ago.
With Portugal beating Turkey 3-1 this morning, an upset again is highly unlikely and arguably the best player to have graced the football pitch, Cristiano Ronaldo will play in what could be his last World Cup.
Italy’s defeat saw Twitter, especially England dans go crazy, with many citing Giorgio Chiellini’s pull on Bukayo Saka as karma for missing out of world football’s biggest tournament.
