Quite amazing to think that for 41 years, the fabled France vs West Germany semi-final of 1982 in Seville (Known as the Night of Seville) was the longest penalty shootout in World Cup history at 12 kicks.
The Sweden vs USA match last Sunday broke that record at 14, until it was obliterated by Australia and France on Saturday night….
WITH 20.
In the space of 20 minutes, Mackenzie Arnold went from:
Hero
To Zero
To Hero and Zero simultaneously in the space of 30 seconds…
Then back to Hero on the reattempt
Then the post wound up as the ultimate hero.
