The Dutch struggled to live up to their billing as potential winners after they needed an own goal by Danish defender Daniel Agger and a tap-in from Liverpool's Dirk Kuyt to win their first Group E match.
Much has been said of the Netherlands' star-studded attack which boasts the likes of Arsenal striker Robin van Persie, supported in midfield by Inter Milan's Wesley Sneijder, Kuyt and Real Madrid's Rafael van der Vaart.
But van Marwijk says his squad must now live up to their potential by playing the flowing football they are famous for and not allowing complacency to set in. "I have been saying this since I became head coach two years ago. We know what it means to be a favourite, we play good football and are very creative. I have said
1,00,000 times that sometimes we are arrogant and sometimes that might backfire on us, and I have told them from day one and we must not fall into that trap."
