'World Cup' Russia 2018, page-6

Unfortunately the following nations failed to qualify for Russia '18

Italy .. unbelievable!? but yes.. they were eliminated and won't be there. Strange to see a World Cup without the Azzuri present.

Chile .. very good team with FiFa ranking 9 and will also miss the action as failed to get through.

USA .. strangely, failed to qualify as well. They are an Ok team.

Netherlands .. also failed to qualify but to be honest Dutch football ain't what it used to be. Recently weakened as a result of retiring player's... so that didn't help their cause.

Wales, Scotland and Ireland also failed to qualify..... so we won't see them either.
