FIFA world cup: the best XI who failed to qualify

Right Wing- Arjen Robben (Netherlands)

Soccer - FIFA World Cup 2014 - Group B - Spain v Netherlands - Arena Fonte Nova

Arjen Robben won't be plying his trade in Russia this year- a sad news for fans but a great sense of relief for all the defenders especially Sergio Ramos who still remembers watching Arjen Robben run past him to score Netherlands fifth goal en route Spain's humiliating loss at the hands of Netherlands.

Robben has been a mainstay for Bayern Munich and Netherlands on the right side for many years now exploiting defences all around Europe. On his day there is no player more devastating than Arjen Robben- with his speed, sight for goal he is the perfect nightmare for all the defenders.

The former Real Madrid man was at his best in Brazil where he ripped apart defences with his scintillating speed.

Arjen Robben has been an integral part of Bayern Munich roster fn or more than 9 years now winning Bundesliga on 7 occasions along with the famous champions league triumph in the 2012-13 season where Robben scored the winning goal vs Borussia Dortmund in the final at Wembley.

It is his ability to turn the match on its head that’ll be missed the most in Russia. We all witnessed Robben in South Africa and Brazil where the Dutch were runners-up and on the third position respectively, courtesy of the man of glass. A whole book can be written on this man but never mind let us move ahead.
