CZIn a World Cup match between Australia and Egypt, head coach Graham Arnold made an unexpected decision to substitute goalkeepers during the penalty shootout. Young goalkeeper Patrick Beach was replaced by experienced Matthew Ryan in the 119th minute, marking only the second instance in World Cup history of such a substitution. The move did not work as intended, as Ryan failed to save any of Egypt's four penalties, while Australia's first-choice keeper, Harry Souttar, and younger substitute Lucas Herrington also missed their chances. Both goalkeepers were surprised by the last-minute switch, which Arnold claimed was based on experience but ultimately proved ineffective due to strong Egyptian shooting. This decision has been criticized as one of the biggest tactical mistakes in Australian football history.
