Socceroos rally around Lucas Herrington after World Cup penalty shootout disappointment – video
Australia's Aziz Behich and Jackson Irvine have given their full backing to Lucas Herrington after the 18-year-old missed a penalty in the shootout defeat to Egypt in the World Cup last 32.
Herrington is the youngest starter the Socceroos have fielded at a men's World Cup. 'It's part of the game,' Behich said. 'I just told him that for him to even just go up there and put the ball down was enough for us.'
