Italy fail to reach the World Cup for the first time since 1958

THE LEGENDARY ITALIAN GOALKEEPER GIAN LUIGI BUFFON APOLOGIZED TO ITALIAN FOOTBALL FANS AFTER FAILING TO QUALIFY FOR THE WORLD CUP NEXT SUMMER IN RUSSIA.
THE FOUR-TIME WORLD CUP WINNER, ITALY, WENT OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1958 AFTER A 0-0 DRAW WITH SWEDEN.
"IT'S A SHAME THAT MY LAST INTERNATIONAL GAME IS A FAILURE TO QUALIFY FOR THE WORLD CUP," SAID BUFFON, 39.
"EVERYONE SHARES THIS SHAME, THERE IS NO SCAPEGOAT."

END OF GENERATION .. ITALY MISSED THE WORLD CUP FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 60 YEARS
JUVENTUS'S ANDREA BARZAGLI AND ROMA'S DANELI DE ROSSI HAVE ALSO ANNOUNCED THEIR RETIREMENT FROM INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL.
BUFFON REPRESENTED ITALY IN 175 INTERNATIONALS OVER 20 YEARS, DURING WHICH HE WON THE 2006 WORLD CUP.
"THE FUTURE IS CERTAINLY PROMISING FOR THE ITALIAN FOOTBALL. WE HAVE PRIDE, ABILITY AND DETERMINATION. AFTER EVERY STUMBLING WE FIND OUR WAY TO STAND ON OUR FEET," BUFFON ADDED.
THE AZZURRI HAVE MISSED THE WORLD CUP FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THEIR HISTORY, AND HAVE APOLOGIZED FOR PARTICIPATING IN THE FIRST ROUND IN 1930.
IN THE FIRST GAME, THE SWEDE SCORED A ZERO FOR MIDFIELDER JAKE JOHANSSON WITH A SHOT FROM GOALKEEPER GONZALO BUFFON AFTER HITTING DEFENDERS. THE TWO TEAMS DREW 0-0 AT THE SAN SIRO IN MILAN.

A GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT FOR THE ITALIAN GOALKEEPER JOHN LUIGI BUFFON
THE SWEDISH TEAM PLAYED A PURELY DEFENSIVE PLAN TO PRESERVE THE OUTCOME OF THE FIRST LEG, AND THE PLAYERS FORMED A FORTIFIED BLOCK PREVENTED THE ARRIVAL OF THE ITALIAN PLAYERS TO THE WINDOW OF GOALKEEPER ROBIN OLSON, WHO TOOK OUT HIS HAND A SHOT "ROCKET" FROM THE ALTERNATIVE ASTFIAN SHAARAWI.
SERO EMOBIL HAS LOST A NUMBER OF CHANCES, INCLUDING A SHOT FROM CENTER-BACK ANDREAS GRANKFIST.
SWEDEN QUALIFY FOR THE WORLD CUP FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2006.
