One of the great absentees in the next World Cup that will begin on June 14 in Russia is undoubtedly Italy, the four-time champion of the highest event of this sport on planet Earth. The Azzurri team had played all the World Cups to date, except for the 1930 when he was not invited and the 1958 that was held in Sweden, a country that eliminated it to perform in the upcoming edition in Russia.

Nor can we fail to mention the debutants Iceland and Panama, who will take part in a world cup for the first time since June. The only team that has participated in all the World Cup editions is still Brazil considered by the experts as the favorite to play the final.

Also they have the approval to choose to the championship the representations of Spain, France and of course, Germany, the current monarch of the world. We hope to see what the future holds and that the results are given as planned.
