You don’t score, sadly, you become zero.“But I just want to reach out to Herrington. You’re 18 years old, you’re young.

This is just the beginning of your career.“You stepping up there, you show a lot of courage. “I’m sure you’d be saying something else if the young kid scored, you’d probably be sitting there saying how wonderful it is, that an 18-year-old took a penalty and scored.“He has played the last two games as an 18-year-old, so if I trust him to play in a game that we needed to get a result against Paraguay and a game that elimination was on the line, what’s the difference with the penalty?”
