Holland go into this last-eight clash at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium having won their first four matches in South Africa, but face their toughest test yet in the shape of Dunga's Selecao. "We've proven we can beat this type of opponent. I am fully confident of that.
"My team is ready, you can sense the excitement among the players. They know they are facing a very important match, they are fully focused.
"We are not afraid of them. We know Brazil are a strong team with a number of weapons like speed and turning around a game, but I know we can win."
He suggested one of the keys to a Dutch success over Brazil was that they stuck by their own style of play.
"It's important to play your own game against Brazil, and not go along with their play," he said.
