So: the Welsh are still in with a chance of qualifying for the World Cup, having beaten the Austrians 2-1 at Cardiff.

Italy have failed to qualify for a World Cup again, as well.

From champions of Europe to being knocked out by North Macedonia. A country that sounds like its on the Northern Line. That's some fall

By what metric? Genuinely curious as most citations I've seen have that as a two-horse race between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

good, their players were a bunch of fouling cheats during the Euro finals and should have had a couple of players sent off.

Well there's no mathematical proof, but there is at the very least a strong case for the proposition that Manchester United is the biggest football club of all.

I think you'll find Real Madrid are bigger than Barcelona. Depends on what metrics you use, obviously, but Man Utd are the biggest English club without a doubt and if not the biggest in the world, definitely top 3 in the world by most usual measures or combination thereof
