Some superb penalty taking from Egypt so no wonder he was so confident , have to agree he made the right choice .
God i wish we had someone that good at penalties !
Anybody else think that Mo Salah deliberately chose to send Ivory coast up first in the shootout so he could have the chance being the fifth taker to be the one to put Egypt through ?
Absolutely this ! I wonder if the ref was advised that he had blown 5 mins early and then just allowed that 5 not realising that there was also extra time to take into account ? Even the Mali team and coaches did not seem sure of what was happening and i never saw a board held up with xtra time...
It was like reverse Fergie time when he blew full time at 85 mins !
Even then to blow just before 90 mins when there had been numerous subs , penalties , var and cooling breaks was bizarre ! Surely the 4th official should have had a handle on it after the 1st incident .:rolleyes:
