FC Barcelona midfielder Mark van Bommel suggests that with a bit of luck and self-belief the Dutch national team can win the World Cup in Germany this year.


Van Bommel had a successful season with Spanish and European champions Barcelona but hopes to top this by lifting the World Cup trophy after the Final in Berlin on July 9. He explained to L1, a regional broadcaster:

"Luck and belief in our own abilities can take us far. We might not have as much quality now as the previous generation, but with good planning and team spirit, we can compensate a lot. If Greece can become European champions, then the world title is certainly possible for Holland. You only have to believe in it and a bit of luck is important too."

Holland will play their first game in the World Cup campaign against Serbia & Montenegro in Leipzig on Sunday, 11th of June.
