Italy woke up ⁠angry and disillusioned on Wednesday after the national team missed out on the FIFA World Cup for the third time in a row by losing a playoff to Bosnia and Herzegovina, prolonging a sporting nightmare for ⁠the football-mad country.

“The World Cup curse,” said the front page of Italy’s main daily Corriere della Sera, calling for rebuilding in a country that has produced some of the game’s greatest players but has won only one match at the finals since lifting the trophy for the fourth time in 2006.
