Italian football boss Carlo Tavecchio said recently that failure to qualify for the World Cup would be the apocalypse and his worst fears came true on Monday as they missed out on the finals for the first time in 60 years.
A desperate 0-0 draw at home to a defiant, belligerent and technically inferior Sweden ended the four-time world champions' hopes of reaching next year's finals in Russia and with it the international careers of several of Italy's biggest names.
The Swedes, whose starting lineup included only four players based with teams in Europe's so-called big five leagues, will take their place after qualifying for the first time since 2006.
Another penalty appeal by #Sweden! Forsberg's scoop pass hit Barzagli's hand in the box, but again nothing was given. Then Forsberg was booked for dissent. #Italy #ITASWE #ItalySweden #UEFA #WCQ pic.twitter.com/CAr4SvRqJw

It appears Gianluigi Buffon has played his final game for Italy. He will be much missed. A mountain of a man. A Giant of a goalkeeper. A credit to his sport.

When Italy, Netherlands, Chile, USA, Ghana & Cameroon miss the World Cup, that suggests more countries are getting better at the sport. That in itself is not a bad thing.Italy's 1-0 aggregate defeat in their European playoff, after Jakob Johansson's deflected strike in Stockholm, is likely to go down alongside elimination by North Korea at the 1966 World Cup as one of their greatest football debacles.
