The curse of the squadra Azzurra continues, as in 2018 when the Italian team was eliminated in the playoffs against Sweden, the 2006 world champion has experienced a blow on its land, in Palermo, against the modest formation of North Macedonia, Thursday, March 24, 2022, and makes a cross on a second consecutive World Cup.

It is hard to believe, a dream turned into a nightmare. The European champion in title will not be at the great world mass, which will take place in Qatar from 21 November to 18 December 2022. A fiasco that shocks the whole country with 4 trophies in the most prestigious world competition at the level of selections (1934, 1938, 1982 and 2006). This gives a big headache to the Italian tifosis.

All Italy can not believe his eyes, this new failure for the “Nacionale” after that of 2018 against Sweden.
The soccer world is shocked by this new cataclysm of Italian soccer. Almost 4 years after failing to qualify for the World Cup in Russia in 2018. Italy fell at the same stage of the playoffs once again to a novice of world soccer, North Macedonia.

“We are really disappointed and devastated. Our dreams are shattered,” said Giorgio Chiellini, iconic defender of the squadra
Azzurra, and Marco Verratti, the hub of the team.

“We have nothing to say, nothing to talk about. We were really unlucky, but that’s the way it is, it’s the reality, even if it’s hard to accept. It’s a thunderbolt for us and we’ll have to wait another four years before we have a chance to play in the World Cup again. The Italian fans are still stunned and must find it hard to believe what just happened in Palermo on Thursday, March 24, 2022,” lamented the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder.

Remember that Italy has not participated in the finals of the world in 1930 in Uruguay, 1958 in Sweden, 2018 in Russia and will not participate in the 2022 in Qatar, the second in a row. What a curse!
