The pulsating game ended 1-1 after Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw opened the scoring for the Three Lions with a volley from close range after connecting with Kieran Trippier's inch-perfect cross in the first half.
Leonardo Bonucci leveled the scores for the Italians in the second half after tapping in from close range after England failed to deal with a corner-kick.
Two stunning saves from Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma denied Bukayo Saka and Jadon Sancho from scoring in the penalty shoot-out to help the Azzurri win.
The win confirmed Cameron's 8-year-old tweet. and football lovers have been commenting.
