Salah only has himself to blame there. It was inevitable that he would end up in the Ronaldo 2012 situation sooner or later. Just lucky it wasn’t for Liverpool.
Your top penalty taker should be at minimum in the first three, as they’re the only three you’re guaranteed to get to take. And your top three takers should be your first three to go.
In reality your best taker should go first, because every scored penalty can psychologically effect the takers of the later penalties.
No two ways about it really. A wanker thing to do. Especially when you know you have a savage keeper. Just keep scoring and you win. In fairness you wouldn’t have begrudged the Egyptians for the sheer balls of having hung in there and could well have nicked it but Senegal were the better side throughout. But ultimately Salah was the difference.
