Tonight the disappointment is immense, even though we faced Brazil. We have to admit the quality of the opponent and learn from situations like this so we can come back stronger.

The team, making their historic debut after a 52-year wait, suffered their second consecutive loss in Group C. They will finish at the bottom of the group, irrespective of their final match against Morocco.

Come back stronger starting in five days against another big team that has reached the World Cup semi-finals. We have to rise to the challenge and make our fans proud.

We were beaten, but not completely dominated. I want to congratulate the players because they proved that they deserve to be in this World Cup.
