Van Persie delighted to reach final
Robin van Persie is thrilled to be through to the World Cup final, after his Holland side beat Uruguay 3-2 yesterday.
Goals from Gio van Bronckhorst, Wesley Sneijder and Arjen Robben saw the Oranje go through to their first final since 1978.
The Arsenal striker was pleased to see his team overcome a resilient Uruguay side, and believes the Netherlands played some good football.
The 26-year-old is predicting Germany to win the other semi-final, setting up a repeat of the 1974 World Cup final.
He said: "This is such a great feeling. Reaching the final like this really gives me goose bumps. We knew Uruguay have a great team as well and that it wouldn't be an easy game.
"They were never going to give up until the referee blew his whistle for the last time. We held on to our lead though to progress.
"We beat Uruguay with some nice attacking play. We scored three good goals and fought extremely hard for the victory.
"Reaching the final is like a dream come true. It doesn't really matter whether we will play against Germany or Spain.
"However, I have a feeling we will play against the Germans. It'll be a great challenge anyway."
