van Marwijk urges Holland to erase complacency

The Liverpool forward contributed at each end of the pitch as the Dutch edged out Uruguay here [at the Green Point Stadium in Cape Town, South Africa], setting up Arjen Robben's third before scrambling the ball clear in the final seconds to preserve his side's 3-2 advantage. "It's an amazing feeling, almost unreal," he said. "We said before the tournament started that we could do this and get to the final. But we knew it would be a long journey. Now we are so close to the dream.

We just have to keep going. Holland have been in two finals before but have not managed to go the extra yard and win it. Now we have the chance and to win the World Cup would be unbelievable, a dream come true for me."
