Arjen Robben is convinced Holland have the players to make a big impact at the World Cup.

The Dutch face Japan on Saturday on the back of a good win against Denmark in their opening Group E match.

Bayern Munich winger Robben, building up his fitness after a hamstring injury, told fifa.com: "The expectations are high.

"You go to the World Cup to win the title but you have to be realistic and know that it is very hard.

"There are a lot of big teams with a lot of quality. But we have a very good group of players and can accomplish something at this World Cup."

Robben is pleased to be working under coach Bert van Marwijk, adding: "He has been very clear from the beginning about what he wants from this group of players.

"He is a coach who can communicate in a very calm manner. He keeps the peace in the team and those are good characteristics."
