Azzurri Fall Short Again

Italy’s World Cup nightmare deepened as they fell to Bosnia and Herzegovina on penalties after a 1–1 draw, a match that unraveled following Alessandro Bastoni’s red card and a late equalizer that wiped out Moise Kean’s early strike. Yet the result carries consequences far beyond one night: a third consecutive World Cup missed, an unprecedented collapse for a four-time champion, and a generation of players now defined by absence rather than achievement. The defeat sharpens scrutiny on the entire system and leaves Italian football desperately searching for answers.All that plus FA Cup quarter-finals previews here on Just For Kicks!
