Ghana are out, but they can be proud of how they played after reaching the round of 32.

They got there the hard way, squeezing through as one of the 8 best 3rd-place teams.

In Group L they beat Panama 1-0, drew 0-0 with England, and lost 1-2 to Croatia, which was just enough for 4 points and a knockout spot.

Then came the round of 32 against Colombia, an unbeaten side and one of the dark horses of the tournament.

Colombia scored early and controlled the game, and Ghana could never find a clear chance to make it 1-1.

They fought hard right to the end, but in the end they lost 1-0 to the better team on the night.

There is still plenty to be proud of.

This is a talented team, with captain Jordan Ayew, midfielder Thomas Partey, and striker Inaki Williams of Athletic Club.

Reaching the round of 32 is a run this team can build on.

The mood is disappointment mixed with pride.
