As I saw Sweden twice versus my beloved France, they won't be easily beaten...
But as concern la Squadra Azzura, no efficient midfield, aging defense, international unexperienced scorers, a coach with no CV and no tactic defined....
Very sad for Italy, but not so illogic..

the national team of Italy showed nothing in a yesterday's match though I thought before a game that they will win. to the World Cup there will go Sweden, hope Ibrahimovic will return to team, it is interesting in the World Cup.
PS. Buffon - a legend.

Zlatan??! Hell nooo !
It would be so unfair for their scorers, and now Zlatan is gone they finally success qualifying for a major competition, they certainly disinhibited without him !
Buffon?? A legend??!! Hell yesss ! 😉
Agree with you, Italy as a strong favourite in this KO, was not able to prove they're better in both games. Aging, but yet stable defense was not of bigger issue compared to what they could create in Sweden's half.JohnnyC4ge said:
Feel sorry for all Italy fans, especially for GiGi missing recently CL titles and now out of WC. That guy really deserved to have at least one CL title.

why Ibrahimovic's return is unfair?! he for many years was a team leader of Sweden, scored 62 goals. if it it is competitive to capable, it is necessary to call him in the national team. and knowing what professional Zlatan, he precisely is useful to Sweden national team.
Buffon, in due time, was the best goalkeeper of the world and there were always in 10 the best.
I think that Italy should have done the same thing as Brazil in the beginning of the qualifiers, when we started very badly: To dismiss the coach while there was still time to change the team.
We sent Dunga to the place where he should never have left, the retirement. After his departure, the team changed completely, classifying very easily for the cup.
But in any case Italy played very badly the last two cups.
They will have to rethink quickly the way football is being run in the country.

In my opinion, it would be unfair cause he's retraited, and even if he has probably been the greatest scorer for Sweden, this team was playing around him, only with system related to his talents. He scored a lot, but was never able to qualify sweden for a major competition.
Now that he's gone, Sweden is able to play like a real team now, and they did the job to get their ticket for WorldCup. To me it would be a non-sense to call him back

He's a real trash.
You can blame the Italian federation as well to choose a coach with such a poor prize list. But the man will not have the decency to resign... He will wait to be fired, and touch some jackpot for it.
Who really genuinely sorry, so it is goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon. Man-a symbol, a role model and just a good player.But football is a game, and the Swedes won and went to the world Cup, we will watch the game Zlatan Ibrahimovic. (if he returns)
