A big disaster for Azzuri fans! Italy out of World Cup 2018, as the Sweden jinx proved to be catastrophic yet again.

This time Sweden again proved the hurdle as Italy lost to Sweden on aggregate at San Siro in Milan after the second leg playoff ended in 0-0 draw. The first leg in Sweden was won by Sweden by a goal.
It is a disappointing end for veteran Gianluca Buffon as he was aiming to play his 5th World Cup at the age of 40.hno:

Pots announced for the Final Draw of World Cup 2018
With Peru completing the line-up of 32 teams for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™, we now know the seeding pots for the Final Draw on 1 December.
It was confirmed in September, by the Organising Committee for FIFA Competitions, that all teams will be allocated to (eight-team) pots 1 to 4 based on sporting principles. The October 2017 edition of the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking will be used to allocate all qualified teams to the four pots according to their ranking in descending order, after hosts Russia, who take the top seeding spot.
With those factors in mind, here are the final pots for the Final Draw:

It is worth remembering that the principle of drawing the teams into the groups will remain unchanged. This means that no teams from the same confederation, with the exception of UEFA, which could have up to two teams in the same group, will be drawn into the same group.
The Final Draw will take place on Friday 1 December at Moscow’s State Kremlin Palace. Make sure to follow the event as it unfolds on FIFA.com and across our social media platforms: Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
