“I am proud of the work they did. It is an exciting group. With the blows we received today, with the draws, this makes you emotional. I want to tell people to enjoy it, it's a historic moment for our country.”
Whilst goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who saved a penalty in the shootout said: "There could not have been a World Cup that I have dreamed of like this. I was calm during the penalties."
