Team Sweden players celebrate at the final whistle on Monday, assured of a berth in next year's World Cup in Russia. This will be only the second World Cup missed by Italy. After winning the World Cup in 2006 for a fourth time, Italy went out at the group stage of the next two editions. Mario Balotelli was the star of Euro 2012 but fell out of favor after Italy's woeful showing at the last World Cup. Italy forward Ciro and teammates absorb their elimination from the World Cup.
