Espada just tweeted he thought it was a good move to pull the starter.

They brought in a new goalkeeper just for the PKs? Bold strategy. He had that one guessed right but a perfect kick.


Wow! He's only 6'. Gave up 3 inches with the swap. Think it would have mattered with the first shot.

But wow Australia can't do pks.

Yeah definitely have to give them credit. They never kicked the ball particularly hard they just placed well. Kept it calm.

Embarrassing that the Aussie attackers didn't seem to want to take pens.

I never get why you send center backs to take penalties. I think the only center back to make a penalty was Van Dijk

Egypt deserved that more than Australia did. Argentina will make mincemeat of them, regardless.

The moment was way to big for the 18yr old. He was barely breathing walking up to the spot.

Tough for Australia but I am glad to not see Egypt go out on an own goal.

Hindsight is 20/20 but that's just too much pressure for a kid (unless it's Yamine Lamal). I wouldn't have put him in that position.

By FIFA world rankings, #64 Cabo Verde over #2 Argentina would be the greatest upset in World Cup knockout history, narrowly ahead of #70 Russia over #10 Spain.

So sure, why not?

Although I think Argentina is the only side that has a prayer against Les Bleus, so if you're not a fan of the cheese eating surrender monkeys you might want to reconsider.

Yet uniquely well positioned to defend against such.

Edit - to the extent that was a CB reference rather than an EPL one that went over my head.

The big oaf launching the first one into the 20th row really set the stage.

Center backs can be as good at penalties as anyone else. But that big dude starting off with the marsupials first take was terrible.
