Italy drew 1-1 with England after a late penalty was called against England with the help of VAR. And while it’s not it’s not great that it took a penalty for Italy to equalize, a draw is still a draw, meaning that Italy got a much better result against England than they did against Argentina. Donnarumma was quoted as saying, “This draw gives us enthusiasm, because reaching this game after so many difficulties, the result gives us the enthusiasm to go forward.”
And at least the scoreless streak is over, right?
