Italy were down to 10 men.

Bastogne was red carded.

But, but, but, this was not a kind of backs to the wall job.

Bosnia-Herzegovina, 22 shots, 11 on target to Italy, seven with three on target.

So three times as many shots as their Italian counterparts.

They were very good in this game.

And for Italy, it's the third time in a row they've missed out in the World Cup.

Obviously, they've won the Euros in the midst of it all.

Gennaro Gattuso is the manager I presume for not much longer and so what yes Sweden did them over two legs in 18 North Macedonia yeah did them in 22 and now Bosnia Herzegovina on penalties Italy not at the World Cup I saw the tweet no Italy at an American World Cup no Ireland at an American World Cup

It's amazing.

Will mentioned Democratic Republic of Congo.

I hand over to Fox Sports 1.

They're obviously a very interesting case study.

I think people generally know the grim history of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Second largest country in Africa, 124 million people.

Belgian rule until 1960.

The horrors there are stomach churning, if you care to look back to Leopold and friends.

French, the official language.

But even post 1960, it's just been war torn history.

To this day, fighting in the east of the country, rebel groups running various cities there.
