Sentence analysis

Could someone please help with the sentence analysis (syntactic functions):

Nora went mad because France lost a match against Spain in the championship for the best team in Italy last week.

Subject - Nora
Verb - went
Complement - mad

What about the rest of the sentence? Is it all adverbial of reason, or should be analyzed further???

Thank you very much in advance!!!!!!

Very generally it seems that it is a sentence + conjunction + sentence structure. Nora went mad (first sentence) + becasue (conjunction) + France lost... (second sentence) As for the analysis, (I haven't dome sentence analysis for months so I may have forgetten somethings.

Hi guys,
Nora went mad because France lost a match against Spain in the championship for the best team in Italy last week.
When I read this sentence, the first question that comes to my mind is 'Why are France and Spain competing to be the best team in Italy?' It sounds like a competition for Italian teams only.
