The most unlikely country just scored the goal of the tournament? World Cup reactions with Socceroo Andrew Redmayne

The Socceroos are pulling massive TV audience numbers…the World
Cup’s already claimed its first manager…and somehow, our
Socceroos young guns might be the fastest players on the
planet. 


This episode, I catch up with Socceroos 2022 World Cup Qualifying
hero, Andrew Redmayne - the goalkeeper who famously used his
“jelly legs” technique in a penalty shootout that saw Australia
through to this World Cup.  


He tells us what actually goes into saving penalties at an elite
level - how much of it is preparation, how much is instinct and
how much of it is just luck. 


We get into that Peru shootout, the mind games, and how it feels
knowing you’ve literally changed football laws off the back of
one moment. 


We also chat the 2026 Socceroos - whether we’ll beat the USA,
what needs to change tactically, and some of Redder’s favourite
memories in green and gold. 


Plus, a quick whip around the tournament - Tunisia have already
sacked their manager Sabri Lamouchi after one game, France are
looking seriously strong, Haaland’s finally off the mark and Cape
Verde have just produced one of the all-time defensive shifts.
