Our own Joe Molloy has been in Brazil since Sunday and at the moment he is in the city of Salvador.

Seeing as he is going to the World Cup match between Spain and Holland on Friday, he did a bit of digging on the Dutch side who seem to be showing the first signs of in-fighting as Arjen Robben and Bruno Martins Indi in training.

Joe caught up with Tako Rietveld of Dutch TV station NOS in Salvador and Rietveld agrees with Louis Van Gaal's assertion that there are more than half a dozen sides with stronger World Cup hopes than the Dutch.

He spoke about the weakness in the team behind the Arjen Robben, Robin Van Persie and Wesley Sneijder triumvirate.

"They are a weak team. I'm sorry to say that about my own team.
