World Cup & International friendlies.

[Longlostjack]

From a friend of mine who is a fanatical Lecce fan. Southern Italy.

“ I don’t care about this elimination for different reasons… first of all, because the Italian football world is sick and all players who play in big teams are spoiled and always advantaged by referees… and they find themselves in difficulty when playing abroad”

I have just read about Sweden: they are heading to the World Cup despite finishing bottom of their qualifying group, losing six of eight games, only collecting two points and having a GD of -8. Well and truly saved by the Nations League play offs!

Genuinely unsure who I would want to go through
Italy failing again makes me less bitter about Thursday night
Bosnia failing is some poetic justice for the way they kicked the shit out of our players in the first game

It's a great shame that Italy have again failed to qualify because the level of support they would have received from Italian-Americans in the States would have been huge. Congratulations to Bosnia but a World Cup without the Italians always seems diminished to me.

Since winning the World Cup twenty years ago, Italy have won one game at the finals.

I suppose that's a good reason why they'll be missed.
