Francesco Calzona has insisted he feels proud of his Slovakia side after they were defeated by England on Sunday.
England have failed to live up to their billing as pre-tournament favourites in Germany,and the last-16 tie proved no different.
Ivan Schranz's first-half strike looked to be enough for Slovakia to secure a historic upset before Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane netted to turn the tide for Gareth Southgate's team.
'I feel more pride than disappointment.' Calzona said of his team's performance after the game.
'We almost won and advanced against one of the world's best teams. We tried very hard,we almost advanced. We failed to advance.

An anxious wait followed but England were able to hold on and book their place in the last eight.
