The specter of the playoffs: Italy fears participation in the World Cup, the first hurdle is Northern Ireland


Again! Italy is worried about taking part in the World Cup. As in 2018 and 2022, the “Azzurri” have to find their way through the playoffs. At that time the final stop was against Sweden and North Macedonia, and the disappointment was great. Now Northern Ireland is building up to be an opponent in the semi-finals, on Thursday (8.45 p.m./live Puls 4) Italy has home advantage in Bergamo. In the final, the four-time world champion would have to play away in Wales or Bosnia-Herzegovina next Tuesday.
