USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann proud after exit

United States boss Jurgen Klinsmann hailed his side's heroic performance after their last-16 exit to Belgium and says he hopes to build on their success at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. 

The US were beaten 2-1 by Belgium after extra time but came desperately close to taking the game to penalties.

"I'm very proud of our team," said former Germany striker Klinsmann.

"Every player on the field made their country proud with this performance in this World Cup."

Having captured the imagination of the US public with their displays in Brazil, Klinsmann is determined to improve even further in four years' time, adding: "All of the players went beyond their capabilities and I told them they should take a lot of very positive stuff back home with them.

"We are doing everything we can in every corner of the country to find the talent.
