SOUNDBITE Arjen Robben, Netherlands:

 "That's a shame you know because yesterday I had an interview after the game, I was very honest, maybe honesty is not sometimes, yeah, sometimes you are punished for honesty but I always prefer to be honest. I said there was one foul in the first half where I went to the ground because I thought he would tackle me but in the last moment I think he took his leg away and I went to the ground without any touch. So that was a stupid action from me but what I said before, that didn't have any influence on the game and had nothing to do with the penalty kick.

"I don't change myself, you know, that's the way I am. That's my personality and I think it's good, I apologised, there was one stupid action that didn't have any influence on the game. We had two penalty situations, two clear penalties, one was given and that's it and I think we shouldn't talk about it any more and now I think everything is clear.

"Costa Rica has a very good team, I think they were in a very difficult group, Uruguay, England and Italy. I think before, I think not a lot of people would have expected them to go through to the next round but I think they are a very strong team. It's going to be another very difficult game for us where we have to give everything to go through to the semi-final so it's going to be a hard one."
