Van Persie takes on Kluivert in no-look beach tennis
It was a dream match-up.
Holland's best striker today versus its best striker from the 90s.
Robin van Persie versus Patrick Kluivert.
But there was no news on who won their "epic" no-look beach tennis contest in Brazil.
Van Persie tweeted that they were celebrating the birthday of Kluivert, who is assistant manager of the national team.
Kluivert played for the Dutch team from 1994 to 2004, and with 40 goals from 79 appearances was their highest goalscorer until van Persie surpassed him last year.
The Dutch squad was on a break on July 1 ahead of the quarter-final against Costa Rica on Sunday (July 6, Singapore time).
