Italy's World Cup qualification campaign has barely begun and already the country is worried about the shocking possibility of failing to reach the final tournament for a third consecutive time after a humiliating defeat by Norway.

Norway currently leads Group I, putting it in position to qualify directly to the World Cup, though there's a lot of time still left to go. Italy has yet to play a Group I match.

Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma blasted his team's performance as "not acceptable' after a humbling 3-0 loss in Norway on Friday to begin their World Cup qualifying campaign.
