Arjen Robben Netherlands
Robben has played in 17 career games for the Dutch National Squad, scoring 6 goals. The first international experience of Robben's career came in Euro 2004, as the Netherlands failed to qualify for the 2002 World Cup. It was during the Euro 2004 that Dutch coach Dick Advocaat removed Robben in the 66th minute with a 2-1 lead over the Czech Republic. The Czech team scored two unanswered goals and won the match 3-2, leading to a hailstorm of criticism. Advocaat's decision has since been called "The Substitution" by Dutch soccer fans. Robben played in his first World Cup Qualifiers in 2006. Over 6 games with the Netherlands, Robben tallied 2 goals and 0 assists. The Netherlands qualified for the World Cup in 2006 despite missing the Cup in 2002. In Holland's opening match against Serbia and Montenegro, Robben scored the winning goal in the 18th minute and was later named the man of the match.
