Jorginho and Italy fail to qualify for World Cup 2022 after shocking loss to North Macedonia

The biggest upset of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers came last night as Italy lost 1-0 to North Macedonia.

The European champions could not score across the playoff game and conceded in the 92nd minute as the Balkan nation upset one of the best teams in the world.

Jorginho played the full game for his country and although he created four key passes and made four interceptions, he could ultimately not prevent the loss.

The midfielder had missed a penalty in the group stages which ultimately proved to be very costly as had he scored, Italy would already have qualified for the World Cup.

This defeat sees Italy failing to qualify for their second consecutive World Cup. What's more shocking is that this result comes less than a year after their Euro 2020 triumph!
