Italy haven't even PLAYED one.
Out at the group stages in 2010 and 2014, failed to qualify in 2018 and 2022.
Worst spell that a major international side have maybe ever had. particularly bizarre because they've finished 1st and 2nd at the Euros in that span of time

None of these winning sides have won a World Cup knockout game since lifting the trophy 🤯

We may be a bipolar international squad but we win trophies regardless of the worst spell. We also have the record for most unbeaten matches, forgot to mention that eh?

It's a tweet, not a dissertation,
don't have the character count, time or fucks to give a detailed breakdown of Italy's national team history.
just the core point that 20 years MINIMUM, will separate your next WC knockout game and your last.
provided you even make 2026.

Germany as well are on the same trajectory and possibly worse as they have gone out of both World Cup at the Group stage and did semi bad at the Euros

it's not even comparable yet.
for starters, the groups.
teams that finished above Germany: Sweden, Mexico, Japan, Spain,
teams that finished above Italy: Paraguay, Slovakia, New Zealand, Uruguay, Costa Rica
not even getting into failing to qualify at all.

I can't make out what you're saying,
blow your nose, wipe your eyes,
stop sobbing, then try again.

All true but when we say 'It's coming home' (regardless Italy is qualified or not) the world fears us.
When England does the same, nobody pays attention.
