SOUNDBITE (German): Ottmar Hitzfeld, Switzerland coach

"In the last three minutes I went through all the possible emotions professional football can offer. We wanted to reach a penalty shoot-out but then we suffered a big shock with the goal we conceded. It was not possible we conceded the goal. Then Diego was asking me if he could play out field, I didn't know what to say but then I said, "go ahead." Then the header on the post, everything was there, in the last five minutes, the drama, everything was there in the last five minutes of this football we love, a lot of emotions, a lot of fans, Argentinian fans, Swiss fans."
