In a crucial World Cup round of 16 match held on July 4, Beijing time, Australia was defeated 3-5 on penalties by Egypt, failing to advance to the next stage. It is worth noting that Australian manager Popovic made a daring substitution at the end of extra time. 【Watch the World Cup on Migu Video】

In the 119th minute, he replaced the impressive starting goalkeeper Beach with 34-year-old veteran Mathew Ryan. Popovic hoped that Ryan could leverage his experience to make crucial saves in the penalty shootout, replicating the legendary performance of Dutch substitute goalkeeper Tim Krul from years past.

During the 2014 World Cup quarter-final between the Netherlands and Costa Rica, Dutch coach Louis van Gaal substituted Tim Krul for Jasper Cillessen just before the penalty shootout. Krul correctly guessed the direction of all five penalties, saving two of them, leading the Netherlands to their first-ever penalty shootout victory in World Cup history (with a record of 1 win and 4 losses).

However, Krul's miraculous performance was clearly not easy to replicate. In the penalty shootout, all four Egyptian takers successfully converted their penalties, with Ryan failing to save any, and he was humiliated by Mohamed Salah's cheeky Panenka penalty. Australia, on the other hand, missed two of their four penalties, ultimately losing the shootout 2-4, and losing the match 3-5 on aggregate.

Moreover, Popovic's decision to have defender Suta take the first penalty and 18-year-old defender Herington step up to take another was also met with criticism. Clearly, on such an important stage as the World Cup, a risky gamble could turn into a lifelong regret.
