BITTERSWEET EXIT FOR DUTCHMAN
Arjen Robben announced his international retirement after scoring twice in the 2-0 win over Sweden on Tuesday
IN A NUTSHELL
n Since his debut on April 30 2003 (v Portugal), Robben has appeared in only 51 per cent of all Dutch international games (96 out of 187). n Only Wesley Sneijder (33 in 132 games) has assisted more goals for Netherlands than Robben (29) since his debut in April 2003. n Robben scored or assisted a goal for Netherlands on average once every 112 minutes (37 goals, 29 assists). Robben became the first player to score at least two goals in his final game for Netherlands since Piet de Boer in 1937. With his brace against Sweden, Robben has now scored against 26 different nations. Only van Persie (30) and Huntelaar (27) have scored against more. Robben (106) is one of only five players with 100 or more dribbles at the World Cup finals since 1966, along with Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, Jairzinho and Mario Kempes.
