Holland coach Bert van Marwijk has jumped to the defence of Arjen Robben over claims that the winger is a diver. Robben has come under-fire from some quarters for his conduct on the field after being accused by a number of Brazil players of diving during the quarter-final win last Friday.
The 26-year-old has been accused of going to ground too readily throughout his career, but van Marwijk insists Robben is not a cheat and that he has cleaned up his act in recent years. Van Marwijk is refusing to look too far forward as he prepares his side for Tuesday's semi-final with Uruguay.
The Dutch are heavy favourites to reach this Sunday's final, but van Marwijk is refusing to take anything for granted.
