The images of the Rai live broadcast captured in the background the joy of a group of players after the spot-kick that eliminated Wales, putting Dzeko and co on the national team’s path to the World Cup
Many had probably already taken a shower, the match in Bergamo had ended a while ago and Italy still didn’t know the opponent to challenge in the playoff final. Wales or Bosnia on the road to the 2026 World Cup? In fact, the Cardiff match had not been resolved in the 90th minute and not even extra time had decreed a winner. Penalties were needed, where the Welsh were in the lead before failing two in a row, with Johnson and Williams. Bosnia was passing by. Rai was still connected and in the background we could see the celebration of some Italian players. Evidently they consider the Bosnians to be more manageable opponents than Wales. But, as they say in the USA, “be careful what you wish for”. Let’s hope it doesn’t hurt.
