Italy pokonały Israel 3:0 w eliminacjach do piłkarskich mistrzostw świata. Ten wynik może zadecydować o losach izraelskiej drużyny w grupie. Wygrana Włoch sprawia, że drużyna Italii jest o krok od baraży, a Izrael stoi na krawędzi odpadnięcia z rozgrywek. Bez zdecydowanego zwycięstwa nad Mołdawią i potężnej wpadki Włoch, ich marzenia o mistrzostwach świata trzeba będzie odłożyć na kolejną edycję.
Italy's big win – a key step towards promotion
Zwycięstwo 3:0 nad Izraelem to dla Włoch ogromny krok w drodze do awansu. Włosi pokazali klasę i udowodnili, że nie bez powodu liczą się w walce o najważniejszy piłkarski turniej globu. Po tym meczu drużyna Italii wyprzedza Israel w tabeli, umacniając się na drugim miejscu, co zapewnia udział w barażach.

Direct consequences for Israel
In the event of UEFA being eliminated as a mundial, only the group's winner is directly promoted and second place allows for playing in the barracks. Italy's win makes Israel virtually lose the chance to overtake them in the table. With such a score and one match to the end, Italy's leap is bordered by a miracle, unless the Italians suffer an unexpected defeat and Israel wins an impressive victory with Moldova, while doing a considerable loss in the goal balance.
Key scenarios:
- Italy wins, draws or does not lose high to Moldova – Israel is out of the fight for barracks.
- Israel wins against Moldova and Italy loses high – a chance for Israel only under exceptionally favorable circumstances (a large balance of goals).
What about Israel? Last Math chance
Mathematically, Israel is not losing its chances yet – they still have one match to play and can theoretically match points with Italy. However, the practice is inexorable: the severe defeat and the weaker goal balance almost close the door to the mundial. Even the analogy to the cycling race shows this distance – when the cape drives away, a lone player from the end of the cape has to count on not only his own effort but also great luck.
Italy decides the fate of the group, Israel almost without a chance
Italy's 3-0 win with Israel makes Italy's team one step away from the barracks and Israel stands on the brink of falling out of the games. Without a decisive victory over Moldova and a powerful collapse of Italy, their dreams of world championships will have to be postponed for another edition.
