Weiss admits Netherlands were better

Slovakia coach Vladimir Weiss was graceful following a 2-1 defeat to the Netherlands, claiming his side were inferior to the Dutch as they tumbled out of the World Cup.
Goals from Arjen Robben and Wesley Sneijder sent the Oranje on their way in Durban.
Robert Vittek scored an injury time consolation penalty, but it was too little, too late.
Nevertheless, Weiss heads home with his head held up high as he admitted that Holland were the better team.
"Over the whole game the Netherlands were stronger," Weiss told the press.
"That's no disgrace to us. Nevertheless we had chances to score the equaliser throughout the game, but we never took them."
It was not all doom and gloom though as Weiss reminded the world of their famous win over Italy.
"We have done well. The players have shown a great mentality. The win over Italy in the group stage was an absolute highlight for us," he concluded.
