Arsenal ace Van Persie taunts Brazil players: You are not that good

Arsenal ace Robin van Persie insists man-for-man Holland is a better team than Brazil.

The Samba stars are said to have the best squad in South Africa.

And the bookies make them favourites to lift the trophy for a sixth time on Sunday week.

You might think that would leave the Dutch dreading a last-eight clash with Dunga's superstars.

But Arsenal striker Van Persie insists his national team-mates are not running scared.

He said: "This is the game that we wanted, this is what it's all about. There will not be a big difference. If you compare all the players of both teams, then I think we have more top-level players. I'm sure Brazil are not better than us.

"Of course, we have to improve our game. But every match is a new adventure, every match has to be better.

"We are not allowed to think about what we've already achieved. If we do that, it's over."
