Holland attacker Dirk Kuyt is ready to face Liverpool pal Martin Skrtel and his Slovakia tomorrow.

Kuyt comes face to face with his Anfield pal when the Dutch take on Slovakia in Durban.

"We have a lot of confidence now because not only have we won all our qualifying games but all our games in the group stage as well," said Kuyt.

"We can still do a lot better. Martin is a fantastic defender but I'll be ready for him. I already played against Daniel Agger in the group and we beat his Denmark team.

"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.

"But that's the World Cup. The best players are here and we have to make the best of it and I think we will do well."
