Agreed. Their humiliation has been a highlight of each of the last 4 tournaments.

There are (will be) 12 teams who'll make the play-offs - the 10 runner-ups from the 10 groups, and the 2 best Nation League group winners who failed to qualify via the groups (one is Austria, and the other one will be Czech Republic or Wales).

These 12 teams are divided into 6 seeded and 6 unseeded teams. 3 groups will be created, each consisting of 2 seeded and 2 unseeded teams.
In the group's semis, a seeded team plays at home against an unseeded team. The winners from both group matches will play in the group's final (the home team yet to be drawn). The winner makes it to the World Cup.

All three group winners will go to the World Cup.

As things stand right now, the seeded teams are: Portugal, Scotland, Italy, Russia, Sweden and Poland, with the Poles probably losing this position tomorrow to Wales. The unseeded teams are: Wales, North Macedonia, Turkey, Finland, Austria, Czech Republic.

Wait so the teams that finish first in their groups will automatically qualify the rest will play each other and the winner will qualify?

Mancini went full retard starting Jorginho-Tonali together in a must win match (made even worse by Tonali picking up a dumb yellow minutes in) and than exacerbates this by bringing in a rubbish Cristante in for Tonali. Locatelli’s best role is the Jorginho one, but he’s also a far better B2B than Cristante.

Bad Subs. He replace one of his creative player Barella in around 60 mins. Than he bring on Belotti and Scamacca after that for Insigne/Emerson. He should have let Barella and Insigne play first with an ST Belotti or Scamacca

Really disappointing, I hope this isn't a repeat of last time.

Still better than not qualifying for the world cup at all

At least our Italian players will get a long winter break next year.

What a load of shit. What a shitty way to hold world cup or world championships while not having the best teams participate. Europe should fill more spots in whole tournament instead of taking these tahitis and swaziland’s. Football is progressing and european dominance is high as ever. Cannot fucking comprehend the way how only 1 team advances straight from 1 group. There’s fucking 10 countries in SA and half of them are getting the ticket, how’s that? 10 countries straight from africa and 10 straight from europe, what kind of BS is that? Same amount of african countries getting guaranteed ticket as we get in europe...

It’s once again this political LTGBT or whatever is that gayish word for bringing all the people together instead of focusing on actual thing, which is football. They should have top 16 or top 24 going straight to world cup and give 2 spots for every continent and couple playoff rounds for last spots.

It’s equivalent of giving Dybala for what he doesn’t deserve.

It’s bizarre. Although Italy did start to look very average when they lost Spina and the left side became a complete void (similar to ours). I think the adrenaline and team spirit got them through the Euros.

This Italy since though has looked like a different team. Lost all its intensity and plays with no technical ability at all. That was one of the worst performances I’ve seen from an Italy team in years. NI are without doubt a solid workmanlike team but you have to be winning those kind of games if you’re a supposed top team

There would be none of this talk if Jorginho converted at least one pk.

If you can't make it into the best 13 European teams you have no business qualifying for the World Cup.

But fully agreed that too many spots are there for other continents, a 32 team tournament is producing too many mediocre matches. The only way to make it more fair in the current format imo is to mesh the confederations together in the 2nd stage of qualifying and make Italy and Portugal play against North Korea and India.

Doesn't matter. If the Euro champion is not good enough to beat teams like Northern Ireland or Bulgaria, then you get what you deserve.

what do you mean doesn't matter? Literally one guy is to blame for all their problems.

That shows the ineptness of Italy that they had to rely on a missed penalty to take them through.

Two draws against Bulgaria and Northern Ireland with a worse GD than Switzerland. What did you expect?

TWO, fuckin TWO missed penalties against a direct rival!

It's a legitimate excuse for any team.
