Russia 2018 - Sweden Sails Through, As Italy Fail To Qualify by dabblesports(m): 9:19am On Nov 14, 2017 |
The Azzurri [/b]rued their chances as they fail to score in 180 minutes against the Swedes. It was a sad tale for the four time World Cup Winners as they miss out at [b]Russia 2018. Despite parading so much quality as compared to the Swedish national team, Italy could not hit the back of the net as the toiled hard to go pass the Swedish goal keeper. The keeper was outstanding on a night the Italians needed at least a goal to have the hope of extending the game to extra time and possibly get a win. But the determined Swedes ensured the score line remained the way it was after the first leg of the play-off played some days ago. The veteran Italian shot stopper had hoped to make this tournament (Russia 2018) his last, but sadly, it didn’t work out as planned. Gianlugi Buffon has been to five World Cups with Russia 2018 meant to have been his sixth and the last, sadly he will have to call it quits on a sad note. He has undoubtedly been one of the best keepers of all times. Though the Swedish side deserve a spot at the World Cup billed for next year due to their hard work, resilience, composure and the technical organization, the truth remains that ‘ the Italians will be missed’. Croatia, Sweden, Switzerland and Denmark all sail through the play-off rounds as they made the cut for next year’s soccer mundial billed for Russia. December 1st, this year, will see countries gather for the World Cup draws as the die will surely be cast. SOURCE: http://www.dabbsports.com/2017/11/russia-2018-sweden-sails-through-as.html
