Bergamo – “This is definitely the most important game of my career,” Italy’s football team boss said before the World Cup playoff game against Northern Ireland. After the 2-0 (0-0) on Thursday in Bergamo, it can be said that there is an even more important match on Tuesday. Then it’s actually a question of whether Italy will finally reach a World Cup again – or fail in qualifying for the third time. The four-time world champion missed the finals in Russia in 2018 and in Qatar in 2022. You have to keep this in mind: eleven-year-old Italian football fans have never seen Squadra’s World Cup game.
