Italy will miss a second consecutive World Cup after losing a do-or-die playoff to North Macedonia, the team ranked 67th in the world
Four years ago, in the tearful aftermath of one of its most painful soccer defeats, Italy vowed never to let such a disaster happen again. They had failed to qualify for a World Cup for the first time in 60 years. This was not merely a soccer crisis, the players said then, it was a generational catastrophe.
On Thursday night, that Italian generation broke its promise. In one of the most stunning upsets in qualifying history, the defending European champions cost themselves a trip to the 2022 World Cup by losing 1-0 to North Macedonia in Palermo.
