"But we will show great desire and try to pull off an upset. Why not reach the final of the World Cup? "We've come to this competition to change mindsets within our continent. If we say the semi-final is enough, I don't agree. "We aren't satisfied with the semi-final and being the first African team to do that. We want to go further. "Its's a knock-out game and when you have desire, commitment and the support of the crowd, you can win it. "We have beaten some top sides. Before every match people thought we would get knocked out but we are still here. We are getting closer to our dreams and we will fight to get there. "We are one of the four best teams in the world now and we want to reach the final. The best team, Brazil, is already knocked out. "We are hungry. I don't know if it will be enough but we want Africa to be on top of the world. I know we are not favourites but we are confident. "You might think that's crazy, but a bit of craziness is good."
