âWorld Cup in Qatar, Italy’s dismal record.
There is a sad record for Italy regarding the World Cup that will kick off in Qatar on Sunday. In fact, it is the only national team not to be present among those who have won the rainbow review in the past.
England, world champions in 1966, has been placed in Group B with Wales, Iran and the United States. In Group C with Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Poland is Argentina, which triumphed in 1978 and 1986. France, which will be without Golden Ball winner Karim Benzema, is in Group D with Australia, Denmark and Tunisia. Both Germany and Spain are in Group E with Costa Rica and Japan. Five-time world champion Brazil is in Group G with Cameroon, Serbia, Switzerland. Finally, in Group H, Uruguay will face South Korea, Ghana and Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal.
