Virgil van Dijk felt as though he let his Netherlands team-mates down after missing the opening penalty in their World Cup shootout defeat to Argentina - but the Liverpool defender hopes a feeling of pride will soon take over.
Louis van Gaal's side were eliminated at the quarter-final stage after losing a feisty affair against Lionel Messi's Argentina. The Dutch were 2-0 down as 80 minutes passed by before Wout Weghorst's brace sent the clash into extra-time while players from both teams clashed in a huge late bust up.
Despite a dramatic late comeback in normal time, the European side failed to carry that momentum forward and as extra-time fizzled out, penalties loomed. Reds star Van dijk stepped up to take the opening spot-kick but saw a relatively tame effort parried away by Emiliano Martinez before another save from the Aston Villa stopper allowed Lautaro Martinez to settle it.
