意大利已连续三届参加世预赛附加赛，此前两次均没能突围（意大利连续三届出战世预赛附加赛，前两次均未能晋级）

Considering user context in Chinese

I see the user is sharing that Italy has taken part in the World Cup qualifiers playoffs for three consecutive times and hasn't advanced in the last two. It feels like they're stating facts, but perhaps they want confirmation or more details. I think it might help to acknowledge this and provide some context, mentioning the years where Italy failed, like the 2018 playoff against Sweden and the 2022 playoff against North Macedonia. I'll clarify that the complete 2026 qualifiers haven't fully occurred yet.Clarifying Italy's playoffs

I realize that Italy indeed qualified directly for the 2014 World Cup, and the user’s mention of "three consecutive playoffs" refers to the upcoming 2026 cycle after their failing in 2018 and 2022.

In 2018, they lost to Sweden, and in 2022, they faced North Macedonia. I can respond by confirming these two failures and offering to share details about their opponents or scores. It’s relevant to mention the current playoff format, and I might ask if they want more information about Italy's squad or upcoming matches.
