On the match

We needed to win this game. It was really tough for us. Northern Ireland made our lives very difficult today. And as you could see we were about to lose. We couldn’t lose. We want to make our nation proud. So we needed this game so much because we had promised our nation that we are going to make it.

On living the dream of the first World Cup

Yes it is [a dream]. I really needed this moment. And I am so happy about it.

On how fare they can go from here.

I think we will finish in the top eight. That is what we are fighting for.
