“Tragedy”: Faitelson, Martinoli and Garcia's reaction to the elimination of Italy heading to Qatar 2022

As part of the qualifying rounds leading to the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the football world received one of the most shocking news. Despite having consolidated themselves as the monarchs of Europe in the 2021 continental tournament, the Italian national team could not save their irregular passage in the group round by direct access tickets and fell in the repechage stage against the North Macedonia National Team.

Reactions around the world and football connoisseurs in Mexico did not delay regretting the absence of one of the most traditional teams at the World Cup. Christian Martinoli, famous commentator for Azteca Deportes, was one of the first to react to the sudden fall of the azzurro team. “Bipolarity of football” and “Vaya shit” were the brief lines he expressed in Italian through his Twitter account.
