Italy Miss Third Straight World Cup

Italy suffered another World Cup heartbreak as they fell to Bosnia and Herzegovina in a dramatic play-off final. Despite taking an early lead through Moises Kean, a red card for Alessandro Bastoni shifted momentum, with Haris Tankovic equalizing before Bosnia prevailed in the penalty shootout.

Italian newspapers reacted furiously to the defeat, with Tuttosport leading with 'Via Tutti' (Everyone out), while Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere dello Sport both featured 'Tutti a Casa' (Everyone at home) on their front pages. Columnists called for sweeping changes, describing Italy's recent performances as 'habit of mediocrity' and '20 years of solitude' without a clear plan.
