The Italian national team currently rests comfortably atop UEFA Group B after going undefeated in their qualifying round. Despite their success in the qualifiers, Italy was unable to be seeded in pot 1 due to their final two qualifying matches ending in draws, which has also contributed to their relatively low FIFA World Ranking. All things considered, the Italians are looking to make a concerted effort to validate their team in the eyes of their fans and the world and dethrone Brazil as the most decorated team in FIFA sports.

Fans of the Italian Team Celebrate a Rich International Football History

The illustrious history of the Italian national football team is a point of extreme pride for many fans. After declining their first invitation to the World Cup in 1930, the team went on to win both their first and second World Cup competitions consecutively. Some fans say that if it hadn't been for the events of World War II, Italy would have continued climbing to the top of the soccer world, but it was the tragic events that came later which truly account for the teams stunted growth.

In May of 1949, Italian football took a tragic turn when a plane transporting the Torino A.C. football team crashed due to low visibility, killing all 31 people aboard the flight. This fateful accident robbed Italy of 18 of its star players, decimating its chances at international victory in the following years. It wasn't until the 70's when Italy began to make its comeback, making it to the final round of the World Cup only to be bested by Brazil.

The 2014 World Cup offers the Italian national team a chance to get back at their rivals for that defeat, and show the world that they are truly a force to be reckoned with in the world of international football. Fans of all sizes can show their support for the Italian bid on the World Cup with an Italy kids away World Cup jersey 2014.
