People who believe in destiny might explain it otherwise.<br />
But I don't have an explanation for what happened<br />
today. It really was a hard match, we didn't play well<br />
but we survived very difficult circumstances. We<br />
conceded a goal at the end <strong>of</strong> the first half and we<br />
had a penalty against us in the last second. Maybe<br />
we didn't play that well but we had the guts to do it.<br />

All I can say is this is football. It was a very difficult<br />
game for us because in the previous game we also<br />
played for 120 minutes and in the end we had the<br />
historic opportunity to reach the semi-final and we<br />
had the penalty. We have to be proud <strong>of</strong> what we<br />
have achieved. This is sport and justice. Today<br />
Uruguay were the lucky ones.<br />
