G.van Bronckhorst: sometimes it seems like we just can't lose © EuroFootball.com

The captain of the Dutch national team, Giovanni van Bronckhorst, before the World Cup final match, says he is confident in his team's victory.

"This is our tournament," said the 35-year-old veteran, ending his career in the national team after the championship. "Sometimes I feel that we just can't lose.

"Perhaps we haven't always played very well, but we scored in the most important moments of the game. So many times we were so close to the goal, so we hope that this time our faces will be adorned with smiles after the final whistle."

In the Dutch national team, the full-back has played over 100 matches.
