Legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon's career in the Italian national team could end sooner than planned.
The four-time world champions will have to bounce back after being defeated 0:1 in the first knockout match of the World Cup, or else they will be forced to spend the summer vacation.
Moreover, this would happen for the first time since 1958.
After the defeat in Sweden, G. Buffon said: "We must avoid talking about how Fortune turned away from us. There were very intense struggles and tough physical battles.
But we must believe in our strength, because there are still 90 minutes left to change the unfavorable situation.
Now we shouldn't waste energy on analyzing past incidents and we must make sure to avoid a shameful performance at the "San Siro" stadium for Italy."
