Former Netherlands star Giovanni van Bronckhorst believes that the Dutch national side have a chance to win the 2014 World Cup.

The Dutch have nearly qualified for Brazil 2014, and Van Bronckhorst believes they can go one better than South Africa in 2010.

“They are well on their way to getting to Brazil and it’s good for the team to be involved again in the World Cup, especially after 2010 when we were close to becoming champions and now it’s another chance for us to win it.

“It’s going to be hard, playing Brazil and Spain, especially with Brazil having home advantage.

“The Netherlands are definitely one of the teams who can win it, but I think there are eight teams who can win the World Cup.

“It’s just a matter of having a bit of luck on the day. Holland always have a chance, but we have to see how the form is.

“I have good memories [of the 2010 World Cup], of course reaching the final, Uruguay in the semi-final. One of the best goals I have scored [against Uruguay] – a strike that people will always remember me for.

“Of course I wanted to be a champion but overall I have a very good feeling about the World Cup in South Africa, it will always be special for me."
