The Dutch did it once in Russia I think but possibly Brazil.

If it gets to pens think the Aussie keeper might be the match winner

I’ve never seen that happen before!

Chelsea tried to do it in a CL match I believe, but I think the keeper refused to come off or something.

Kepa in the League Cup final I believe.

It's a good idea, IMO. Even if the sub keeper isn't that much better, changing them gets in the heads of the opposition. Feel like Aussies will win.

Unless it's Salah I hope 2 players fail so as it's not all on one player.

[Sexual Ealing]

Yes! Penalties!

[Exeter 77]

The Aussies have a decent penalty coach - don't think Mile Jedinak ever missed one did he?

Maybe he's the Australian Brad Guzan.

If only Bobby Robson had done it with that lump Shilton in Italia 90 :-)

Getting interesting.

Egypt win both tosses which is a big help.

Salah is definately a tosser.
