Euro Group 8
World champions, Italy have were made to work hard but in the end they came through as group winners and have booked their flights to South Africa in 2010. The crucial moment for them came when they secured a last minute draw against the Republic of Ireland at Croke Park to see off any chance the Irish had of catching them for top spot.
As it was, it was the Republic of Ireland who took second spot and a Play-Off match against France after going through the entire group unbeaten, it was the six draws that meant they were unable to compete with Italy for automatic qualification.
