"Italy, currently No. 12 in FIFA's men's rankings, comes in as favourites, boasting talents such as Fiorentina's Moise Kean and Federico Dimarco, a winger for Inter Milan. The country has won four World Cups (1934, 1938, 1982 and 2006), but missed out on both the 2018 and 2022 tournaments."
"No. 66 Bosnia and Herzegovina is hosting the playoff game in Zenica and seeking its second World Cup appearance after playing in Brazil back in 2014. The home squad is captained by Edin Dzeko, a 40-year-old striker who plays for Fenerbahce in Turkey and is the country's all-time leading scorer."
"The World Cup is being played in 16 cities across Canada, the United States and Mexico, starting with games in Mexico City and Guadalajara on June 11. The final will be held in East Rutherford, N.J., on July 19."
