Netherlands talisman Arjen Robben expressed pride despite defeat as the Dutch suffered FIFA World Cup semi-final heartache on Wednesday.
Louis van Gaal s men were beaten 4-2 on penalties by Argentina in their last-four clash at the Arena de Sao Paulo, after the match had finished 0-0 following extra time.
Robben, who had a great chance late in normal time blocked by Javier Mascherano, could not hide his despair at missing out on a final against Germany, although he was still proud of his team.
The Bayern Munich attacker also encouraged the 2010 runners-up to focus on their third-place play-off against Brazil on Saturday, rather than another opportunity missed.
I think we should change our mindset quickly, Robben told NOS.
We ve done amazingly we…

Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero saluted Paulo Dybala s incredible start to the season, calling the Argentinian a superstar who has the ability to stay at the club until he retires.

Manchester City and Napoli will lock horns in the Champions League on Tuesday having torn up the record books with their remarkable goalscoring feats over the opening weeks of the season.
Maurizio Sarri s Napoli are top of Serie A with a 100 per cent record after eight matches, scoring 26 times in the process.

Sarri described City as by far the strongest team in Europe at the moment at his pre-match news conference, while Pep Guardiola also lavished praise on a counterpart very much cut from the same coaching cloth.
But w…
