Amsterdam: The Netherlands captain Arjen Robben signalled the end of his international career after his country failed to reach the 2018 World Cup finals despite a 2-0 win over Sweden. The Bayern Munich star signed off Tuesday by scoring both goals here as the Dutch fell well short of the unlikely 7-0 win they needed to make the play-offs after a desperately disappointing qualifying campaign. The 33-year-old Robben scored 37 times in 96 appearances for the Netherlands. “Fourteen years, it’s beautiful, magnificent even,” said Robben, who made his international debut against Portugal in April 2003. “I will always remember the 2010 World Cup and 2014. Those are my best memories. During those two competitions we were a real team.”
