After a goal in injury time lifted North Macedonia to a 1-0 win over reigning Euro champions Italy, meaning the Azzurri will miss their second consecutive World Cup, many fans from all over the world had something to say.
Here's a look at how Twitter reacted to the match.
Italy joins a small group, but is not alone in being European champions to miss the World Cup.
However, the giants of Europe do join a much smaller pool of former World Cup champions who have gone on to miss back-to-back World Cups after they failed to qualify in 2018.
Of course with so much talent currently in the world of soccer, there are bound to be upsets as qualifications continue across the globe.
While Italy still has that glorious Euro win they can hang onto for another four years, there are also many celebrating the fact they have one less super team to get through en route to the World Cup.
