Although the Azzuri team won the Euro 2020 Cup, it did not allow them to qualify for the 2022 World Cup. Italy failed to qualify after being ranked second in the group stage, only two points behind Switzerland, who are at the top of the standings, so Roberto Mancini's squad played in the playoffs.
In the playoffs, Italy surprisingly lost 0-1 to North Macedonia. Finally, Italy failed to play in the 2022 World Cup. This was the second failure for Italy to participate in the World Cup.
In terms of player quality, the Italian national team is inhabited by several extraordinary players such as Gianluigi Donnarumma, Marco Verratti, Ciro Immobile, to Jorginho.

Not only impact their country but Russian clubs are also banned from playing in European matches such as the Champions League and Europa League. This is a big loss for the country. On the other side, the Russian national team has several quality players who fill several clubs in Europe such as Aleksander Golovin who plays for AS Monaco.
3. Czech Republic National Team

The Chilean National Team also failed to participate in the 2022 World Cup because the Chilean National Team is ranked seventh in the Conmebol Zone or Latin America zone with 19 points.
Meanwhile, in their last match, Chile will face Uruguay, which has already been confirmed to qualify for the World Cup. If the Chilean national team wins against Uruguay, Antonio Vidal and his friends must play in the play-off round in the North American Zone.
If the Chilean national team misses the Qatar World Cup, then, this will be the second time, after 2018 the country was absent.
