Just conceded a 93rd minute goal to Macedonia. From Euro champs to this. Blimey
What a shame but not to worry there’ll be 48 teams in 2026That is absolutely hilarious.
Always felt they fluked their way to the title in the summer.
That's two World Cups in a row that they've failed to qualify for.
Exactly— snooze control for the qualifiers.What a shame but not to worry there’ll be 48 teams in 2026
Mental. Looking at their team they played a weakened one didn’t they? Definitely not the same team that won the Euros at least.
Arguably the three players of their Euros, still should be winning mindThe only players they changed, bar Chiesa, was their ancient centre back pairing, and Chiellini was on the pitch when they conceded.
They didn't fluke it at all, they were easily the most impressive side in that tournamentThat is absolutely hilarious.

They had gone 3 years unbeaten when they beat us. They were in a groove, knew each other, had masses of experience and were on a roll. They actually got lucky reaching the final and their experience told against our young squad. I hoped we would paly Spain because they were a better match up for us.Makes you wonder how on earth we managed to lose to them on our own patch!
Bet our lads are gutted
That's an incredible fact and one I wouldn't have realised. Another World Cup without them is quite amusing actually.Miss consecutive World Cups for the first time
Havent played a knockout game in the Finals since the Final of 2006.
They were very lucky to get past Spain in the Semi-Final too. Spain absolutely bossed the game but couldn't score a winner that they really deserved.They actually got lucky reaching the final and their experience told against our young squad.
