It isn’t!

Penalties are fun for neutrals.

Get ready @dapsnotplimsolls 🤣

At least in that ET, both sides were having a bit of a go, unlike some.

Ha ha I wasn’t being serious. I find them stressful even when it’s not England!

FFS. I hate penalties.

Thank you!

I'm not massively bothered either way but I guess I'd quite like the Aussies to win.

My sis reckons she can tell, from the look on their faces as they step up, whether they will score or not - I am not so sure.

I don’t like them even though I’m a neutral.

I have lived in Aus, I haven't lived in Egypt, I am not a neutral.

I like Salah so I’ll go Egypt. Plus the Egyptians worshipped cats so that’s in their favour.

Cmon Australia 🙏🙏🙏

👋 Here for the pens!
With a double raspberry magnum.
Anyone want one?

Aussies like cats too.

Oh no!

OMG that was dreadful

Poor man. I do hate penalty shoot outs.
Brings back memories of England ones that went wrong

That first one brought back memories of Chris Waddle.

Much better from second Aussie.

Yes! There have been a couple of those this tournament

Gawd I hate penalties

Ryan went so early there, I reckon I could have scored that.

Saleh. Scores

Oh bless, only 18!
