@sbssportau: The decision to substitute Patrick Beach has sparked conversation all across the country. Lydia Williams and Kevin-Prince Boateng both gave their opinions after the Socceroos crashed out against Egypt. 🏆 #FIFAWorldCup | June 12 - July 20 | Every Match on SBS 📺

seffy💫 :

no. the real “shocker” was the senior players allowing an 18 YEAR OLD to take the penultimate penalty

Tiredguy :

That mistake cost us the game.

Kksii :

I didnt know they made marimekko in american sizes 😭

Ngwato :

They lost because they missed more penalties, not because of the goalkeeper, PLEASE!

Amani Band Ug :

Football game decisions aren’t made yesterday in a boardroom. Decisions depend on how the game is moving…!

Gospel Outreach + :

Dear Heavenly Father. I come to You just as I am and I asked You to forgive me of all of my Sins. Lord Jesus I accept You as my Lord and Savior. As from today I am a child of God. Heaven is my Home and I will never be the same again in Jesus Name. Amen !

Amin :

was she a goal keeper

Taji Wrld :

why get shocked while u know every player can be substituted. I mean every player knows that

𝙏/𝐷𝑟𝑒𝑥 :

wanted to be tim krul so badly💔

sk13 :

putting defenders to kick crucial penalties in a shoot out was dumb as fahhhh. not playing toure in the starting 11. swapping Patrick Beach for a keeper that is shorter and has a smaller wingspan for penalties. Time for the golden generation" to move on.

LostAngelino :

As a former goalkeeper, I would’ve been pissed at the coaches done that to me. Especially after I just had the game of my career.

Chimezie Onwuekwe Ri :

Now everyone is a coach. You're a fan, and not a technical coach. Allow the technical head coach to do their thing. Any player can be changed anytime when the technical coaches perceived the need to do so. Either way, a team will always lose.

ChickenPieAndAPint :

Louis van Gaal did it during the 2014 world cup and it worked. The manager will know who is the better goal keeper for penalties, because he would have had that conversation with staff before hand and the staff probably had that conversation with the players. They are making assumptions here

Rob🇦🇺 :

Beach made an unbelievable save that kept us in it and got us to penalties. He should have been given the chance to win it for us. Poppa should have backed him in.

nsubuga hood :

real blunder removing someone who was already in the game

abaswekwadongo :

People seriously discussing this?😳😳 ANY substitute player can come on for injury or tactical reasons.

Andy 🇦🇺🇷🇸 :

Tony Popovic needs to be sacked. He made some very poor decisions during this World Cup especially in this game. Subbing off the amazing goalkeeper Beach was such a terrible decision. Having those 2 defenders instead of the strikers to play the penalty shootout was such a costly decision.

jack :

I mean if it works Poppa is a genius. if it doesn't he has to get criticised....... I think Gus Hiddink did it years ago and it worked. he looked like an absolute genius

juggwockslatt :

Bring on Matt unc Ryan to save 0 pens 😂😂

@lamboni626🤩🥰 :

félicitations

Mill :

Was an abolute joke, beach was one of the top inform keepers ! Disaster

Dana :

Official Attah 4Rina :

It’s all part of the game. Call it Teamwork

Thabo Tsompoos :

this also shocked me and it didn't work for them the coach got it all wrong here mxm
