Second half goals from Ever Banega and Manuel Lanzini help Argentina beat Italy in Manchester
This Buffon crying after Sweden loss (GIF VIDEO) was an emotional moment from the Italy goalkeeper, who was denied a shot at a record sixth World Cup after the Azzurri lost 1-0 on aggregate to the Swedes in their World Cup playoff tie. Buffon, a member of Italy’s 2006 World Cup winning squad, announced his retirement after the 0-0 second leg draw at the San Siro
This De Rossi dialogue on the sidelines (GIF VIDEO BELOW) has been attracting tons of attention since Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1958. In the second leg of their playoff tie against Sweden, with the game tied at 0-0 at the San Siro, and Italy needing to overturn a 1-0 lead, De Rossi is asked by the coaching staff to warm up.
He mutters angrily to the staff, loosely translated to saying “Why should I come on? We need to win, not draw” and points to Insigne.
Insigne was on the bench for the full 90 as Italy drew 0-0 and failed to qualify, with criticism being directed towards Azzuri coach Gian Piero Ventura for his tactics.
