• Australian captain sledged by club teammate over second half error
• Ryan admits his role in the 2-1 defeat by Argentina ‘hurts a lot’

Mat Ryan says he is “not surprised” his FC Copenhagen goalkeeping rival publicly sledged his mistake that gifted Argentina their second goal, while promising not to let it define him after an otherwise unblemished World Cup campaign.

Kamil Grabara has repeatedly questioned Ryan’s skill since they became teammates in August, when Ryan was signed while Grabara was out with a long-term injury.
