da realsbet： Winger Arjen Robben will be happy if Netherlands 'win ugly' in Sunday's World Cup final showdown with Spain.
da brdice： Two of the best footballing nations in the world are both aiming to win a first final in Johannesburg's Soccer City stadium.
Under coach Bert van Marwijk the Dutch are more pragmatic than in the past, but Robben claims he doesn't care how the victories come as long as they do.
"I would much prefer to win a very ugly game than lose a beautiful one," said the Bayern Munich wideman.
"We can still play attractive football but we can always rely on our good organisation as well.
"If you are organised, you know one goal could be enough, which has been the case so far.
"The point is, we are in a World Cup final. From now on how you actually play no longer matters.
"Of course, the intent is there to play good football but the result is far more important.
"We have heard enough of talk about how our football is very nice. But it gets you nowhere. We want to achieve something."
Meanwhile, Robben has warned Spain that his team-mates will not allow them the same time on the ball that Germany did in their 1-0 semi-final victory on Wednesday night.
"We will defend from the front," he promised."No-one here feels they are too special to get their hands dirty.
"I was really surprised with how freely Germany let Spain play on Wednesday. We have to start pressing them earlier and far higher up the field."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
