Playing the World Cup without Italy seems like it isn't the World Cup, Italy has placed themselves as one of the stake holders in previous World Cup and It would be sad to see them leave. Plus looking at there starting lineup, it doesn't look that encouraging especially with Retegui as a striker there.
I also think that a World Cup without Italy is a World Cup thats missing something. It would be like playing without Brazil, Germany, France or Argentina honestly, something would be missing. They have now put themselves in a good position to qualify, but I feel that as a team their style of play isnt exactly attractive. They are slow and cumbersome. The game today is much more direct and fast. Well see how it goes.
Yes! Something will be missing if Italy fails to qualify for the World Cup for the third time in a row.
Obviously, we Italians will feel this more keenly than other nations.
But what more can we say? Lets just hope we qualify, because it would be a real tragedy not to make it to the World Cup for three consecutive times.
Because I don't find this league that thrilling anymore to be honest. But I see there are good matches on the next matchweek.
