Playing attractive football and entertaining come second to winning the World Cup Final according to Dutch winger Arjen Robben. “I would much prefer to win a very ugly game than lose a beautiful one” said the Bayern Munich man.

 

With Sunday’s game coming ever closer, the team dubbed the best never to have won the World Cup has another chance to lay that ghost to rest. As they prepare to face European Champions Spain, the Netherlands are seeking to go one better than the teams of Johan Neeskens and Johan Cruyff. One of the contenders for the Golden Ball award, Robben, who missed the first games with a hamstring injury, went on “Of course, the intent is there to play good football but the result is far more important. The point is, we are in a World Cup final. From now on, how you actually play no longer matters.”
