Having lost their qualifying group to Switzerland late last year, Italy needed to win two play-off matches to reach the World Cup later this year. They lost the first play-off to North Macedonia 0-1 after conceding a goal in the closing minutes of the game. Had Italy won, they would have went up against Portugal in the second qualifier match.

This marks the second consectutive World Cup Italy have failed to qualify for (having missed out in 2018 to Sweden). Given they were the winners of the Euros last year, that is an absolutely unbelievable stat.

Sadly, there are no second chances in the Guru, azuarc doesn't need one.
