Holland attacker Dirk Kuyt admits he's likely to swap Liverpool war stories with Slovakia defender Martin Skrtel today.
Kuyt says both he and Skrtel are happy to be at the World Cup after a turbulent season with the Reds.
"My team-mate Martin Skrtel will be playing for Slovakia and we know they can defend really well," said Kuyt.
"Martin is a fantastic defender. It's a bit strange because you're used to training every day with each other, playing every game with each other, and now we play against each other.
"Everyone at Liverpool is disappointed about what happened last season. For us as players, the World Cup is now the most important thing, but after this World Cup is finished for both of us, the focus will again be on Liverpool.
"Hopefully the future at Liverpool will be brighter than last season."
