Liverpool attacker Dirk Kuyt is excited about Holland's World Cup prospects.
Kuyt insisted the Holland arrived in South Africa firmly believing they could go one better than their predecessors did in both 1974 and 1978, when they were beaten in the final.
Kuyt said: "We already had that feeling before the tournament, that on our day, we can beat every country in the world.
"But at the end of the day, we have to show it and we showed it (Friday).
"We deserved to win. We won 2-1, but the chances we had, it could have been 3-1 or 4-1. It was revenge for '98 and I am glad that we have turned it around.
"But at the end of the day, the most important thing for us today was to win and to show the world we can compete with the best teams in the world.
"It's unbelievable. I really enjoyed it, playing at the highest level in the quarter-final.
"But now we are focussed on the next game. I don't think we realise how big it is at this stage because we have to be focused and we have to try to go all the way."
