Poor kid

[shen]

Terrible choice as fourth PK taker.

[Jordan]

Bye bye Australia 👋 

[st albans fox]

ryan did well 

[Finnegan]

Well. Matt Ryan. Absolutely Kepa'd that.

 

[MC Prussian]

Lots of Emu eggs on Australian faces tonight.

[RowlattsFox]

Subbing on Matt Ryan went well 

[MPH]

2CBs and an 18 year old taking the penalties. Whoever made that decision needs looking at..

[foxfanazer]

Well Matt Ryan is a bag of wank

[StanSP]

The Ryan sub paid off then.

Imagine asking an 18 year old to take the crucial penalty 😂😂

 

Maybe he wasn't asked and put himself forward? There's still an element of more experienced players shirking responsibility but if someone wants to take one and seems up to it then I don't think there's anything wrong with it 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Aussie's fault for having 2 CB's take penalties

Egypt would agree.

[fazzyfox]

Booooo 

 

unlucky Soutts 

[Raj]

Feel for the 18 year old BUT the decision to sub a GK who played brilliant deserves that result!!🤣🤣🤣 twats

[21st Century Fox]

He only needed to save one to justify the substitution.

[Hales]

Oh bugger, oh well back to pre season Soutts!

[andy peake]

Just concentrate on the rugby and cricket please you Aussies.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Matt Ryan will go back to his day job of Edin Dzeko lookalike

[ozleicester]

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Baffling pens from the Aussies

Ah, that's shit. He didn't look confident at all. Weird choice.

 

As soon as i saw him, I said this lads going to miss. Whole world likely did.

Dzeko would’ve saved at least one.

[Jordan]

Will never fault anyone for having the guts to step up

 

But I could fault the manager for playing for pens, using a keeper sub that backfires, and having what looked like a pre-planned approach to have everyone shoot to the top right corner with players that just can’t execute such a pen
