Tony Popovic insists he would change nothing about his widely-criticised penalty shootout strategy that led to Australia's World Cup exit.
In his first comments since returning home after the Socceroos were dumped out in a shootout loss to Egypt, Popovic clarified claims by Maty Ryan that the goalkeeper wasn't informed prior to kick-off that he would be thrown on if the match went to penalties.
Ryan had been axed as first-choice goalkeeper on the eve of the World Cup and said he was only told he was a chance to replace Patrick Beach, who had usurped him as Australia's No.1, as extra time kicked off.
