World Cup review: Italy fail to qualify for the first time since 1958

The four-time World Champions Italy will not feature in the 2018 World Cup in Russia after failing to score a single goal in 180-minutes of football against Sweden.

The land of the boot is in mourning.

Italy will not be making the trip to Russia for the 2018 World Cup after failing to beat Sweden in a two-legged Play-Off.

It’s the first time the four-time World Cup winners have failed to make it to the finals since a 17-year-old Brazilian star named Pelé made his World Cup debut in 1958.
