‘Robben a defender\\\'s nightmare’

RIO DE JANEIRO, July 4 (Reuters): Dutch forward Arjen Robben is at the height of his game and would be a nightmare for any team at the World Cup, Costa Rica coach Jorge Luis Pinto said on Thursday ahead of his side's quarter-final against the Netherlands. "He's a model winger for anyone who wants to learn how to play soccer," Pinto told Reuters at Costa Rica's training camp. "He's at the peak of his career, he's a nightmare for any team."
The 30-year-old has been one of the players of the tournament in Brazil, scoring three goals and terrorizing defenses with his quick, weaving runs and close control. He was instrumental in the Netherlands' last-gasp win against Mexico in the last round, helping them back from the brink of elimination by winning a controversial stoppage-time penalty.
