## Article

Cecilia Zandalasini yelling at officials at Berlin Arena after Italy's 55-52 World Cup loss to the USA tried to dress a full official chase in the Italy kit like it was a different sport. She went after a late no-call on the final possession like the whistle had personally robbed Italy of the last possession. Zandalasini had teammates and staff restraining her while she kept screaming at the officials. The Italian forward later apologized, which is a cute little sticker slapped on a clip that already shows the hold. She sells that scream as Italy. Zandalasini still needed her own people to stop the hunt. The Italian forward can call it passion in the jersey all night long. She treated the Italy jersey like a hall pass for chasing officials. A 55-52 against the USA does not turn her official chase into a sacred scream because the kit said Italy. She needed the bench to peel her off the officials. Berlin Arena kept the restraint.
