The game, which took place in Kazan earlier on Saturday, ended in a 2-1 victory for France.

"I'm proud and disappointed. I think we gave a very good performance. Nobody expected that we could play like this against France. I think there were a lot of moments [when] they [France] didn't know what to do anymore. It's a big compliment for us. If you lose them with a penalty, you can discuss. The way they [Australia] wanted to play - they did it 95%. I cannot blame any of my players, I only can make them compliments. We deserved to play a draw," van Marwijk told journalists.

The games of the 2018 FIFA World Cup will be held at 12 stadiums across 11 Russian cities till July 15.
