The Netherlands beat Uruguay 3-2 to book their place in the final and winger Arjen Robben insisted that following his Champions League defeat to Inter with Bayern Munich, he won't let the Dutch lose in his latest final appearance. "We had a good look at each other before the match against Uruguay and I was convinced that we'd win the match," Robben told NOS.
"This Dutch team is simply a great squad. We need only one more victory now. We're almost there. I recently lost a big final at club level and I won't let it happen again.
"We'll have to wait and see who will be our opponent in the final. Spain and Germany are both great footballing nations," he said.
"If Germany turn out to be our next opponent, I'll be even more motivated. I can't afford to lose against Germany, because my teammates at Bayern will make fun of me all season," the former Chelsea and Real Madrid star said.
