Wonder if Bazeley ever does come across a pen shootout again in his reign, whether he would sub on Paulsen for Crocombe? It is de rigueur these days almost, after Redmayne's heroics. That's of course if a shootout transpired, Paulsen was on the pine.
It's unlikely AWs will be in a pen shootout at OFC Nations Cup (though we were at the last edition), OFC WC qualifying or World Cup itself (if we get there). But we are likely playing in one of these FIFA Series tourneys in March 2026 (last window before the US/Mexico/Canada WC). History could repeat.
A disappointed squad that’s determined to get things right 🗣️
