Explained: Why Egypt players watched a Kylian Mbappe penalty on a laptop just minutes before World Cup shoot-out against Australia

With the Egyptian squad having decoded Ryan’s technical tendencies on the laptop, the veteran shot-stopper then failed to save a single penalty. According to Reuters, penalty psychology expert Geir Jordet explained that Mbappe’s rapid, decisive execution right after the referee’s whistle proves that confidence and decisiveness override any single perfect routine.
