Having won the World Cup in 1982

Italy failed to qualify for the 1984 European Championships.

They lost home and away to Sweden, and to both Czechoslovakia and Romania.

In eight games, they only won once - in their very last game at home to Cyprus.

A very long time ago, I know - but they clearly have previous and I'm not sure now if they will have the stomach for the battle.

Ukraine away, Scotland away, France at home - more games they could end up losing.
