Chelsea's Arjen Robben has praised Ruud's focus ahead of the World Cup.

"He is a very good professional and at the moment he is with the national team and he is focused on that," Robben told Sky Sports News.

"Together with the whole team he knows what to do, he's focused and I expect him to do very well."

Ruud is confident of Holland's chances despite being drawn in the 'Group Of Death'.

"They're good opponents but now we have to continue to play well and win to deserve a good run in the World Cup," van Nistelrooy told Sky Sports.

"The motivation is there, the form is there for most of us, and we have good hopes obviously."
