Four-time champions Italy failed to reach the World Cup for the first time since 1958 after a play-off defeat against Sweden.

It means the Azzurri will not be present in the competition for only the second time in their history having declined to play at the inaugural tournament in 1930.
Midfielder Jakob Johansson's deflected strike in the first leg was the difference as the second leg at Milan's San Siro stadium ended goalless.
Sweden sat back on their advantage and, despite the hosts enjoying 75% possession, they failed to find the breakthrough - their best chance saw goalkeeper Robin Olsen palm away substitute Stephan El Shaarawy's thumping volley late on.
Striker Ciro Immobile missed a number of chances and his low effort in the first half was cleared off the line by centre-back Andreas Granqvist.
The result sees Jan Andersson's Sweden side to reach the World Cup for the first time since 2006, when they were in the same group as England.

Liverpool's Mohamed Salah unlikely to leave, at right place to 'shine' - Cesc Fabregas

Image
Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has hailed former teammate Mohamed Salah for his extraordinary season and said he does not expect him to leave Liverpool any time soon. Salah has scored 43 goals in 47 games in all competitions and been named PFA Player of the Year in a dazzling debut campaign following his summer arrival from Roma. "I coincided with Salah in my first season at Chelsea [2014-15] before he left for Fiorentina," Fabregas told Cadena Cope radio. "He was young, he hardly played, but you could already see that he had talent. He always worked very hard and he gave his all." Salah made 20 appearances for Chelsea before loan spells in Italy at Fiorentina and Roma, who later made the move permanent, and Fabregas said he had found the right environment under Jurgen Klopp at Anfield. "Football is a lot about confidence," he said. "The confidence that a coach can give you nowadays to achieve your best form is key. "It is for a ...

Barcelona's Lionel Messi better now than when he won five Ballon d'Ors - Mascherano

Image
Former Barcelona defender Javier Mascherano says that Lionel Messi is an even better player now than he was when he won his five Ballon d'Ors. Messi, 31 this summer, has not won the prestigious prize since 2015, missing out to Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo in each of the last two years. However, Mascherano believes that despite not adding to his Ballon d'Or collection, Messi has improved as a player. "It's unlikely we'll ever see a player like Messi again," Mascherano, who swapped Barca for Hebei China Fortune in January, told Mundo Deportivo. "I was lucky to spend a lot of my career playing next to such a unique player. His evolution as a player has been incredible, unbelievable. "He is much better now than when he won the five Ballon d'Ors. You wonder how that's possible, but it's true, he's much better now." An explosive winger and a false No. 9 in past guises, Messi has dropped deeper this season under Er...
