Bosnia coach Susic: We can be proud of our World Cup

Bosnia coach Safet Susic is proud of his team after they ended the country's first World Cup with a 3-1 win over Iran.

Goals from Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko, Miralem Pjanic and Avdija Vrsajevic helped Bosnia to victory.

"We dominated the game and deserved to win," Susic told his post-match press conference.

"Although I know that Iran wanted to progress, the victory was important for us.

"We can now go home with our heads held high. We wanted to leave a good impression, but we're not satisfied because we think that we could have done more.

"I'm not being arrogant when I say that, but if we'd played a bit better against Nigeria and had a bit more luck, I think we would have made the round of 16.

"I was a little surprised by the way Iran played today, they can attack teams extremely well and I was expecting them to be adventurous, but I thought at times it was almost as if they would have been content to draw."
