Italy failed to qualify for last year's Men's World Cup in Russia, a devastating blow to a nation that lives and breathes football.
But the Italian women are doing brilliantly at this year's Women's World Cup in France, making history Friday by reaching the knockout phase for the first time since 1991 after Cristiana Girelli's hat-trick inspired a 5-0 victory against Jamaica. Indeed, if picking up a win against one of the favorites, Australia, in its first World Cup game wasn't enough, the Azzurre have already advanced from its Group C cohort, which also includes traditional powerhouse Brazil. .
— FIFA Women's World Cup June 14, 2019 It almost happened in the 58th minute when Italy goalkeeper Laura Giuliani dithered with the ball at her feet. She was caught out by Jamaica's top offensive threat, Khadija Shaw, before Italy recovered. Seconds later, Shaw saw yellow when her right foot cruised into the mouth of Italian skipper Sara Gama on a scissor kick. Giuliani made a fingertip save in the 68th minute.
