Netherlands winger Eljero Elia believes his side is yet to hit top form in South Africa and is in bullish mood ahead of tomorrow's quarter final with Brazil in Port Elizabeth.

Netherlands have won all four of their FIFA World Cup games in South Africa, but have still received criticism from the media at home for failing to reproduce the exciting brand of football that saw them thrash Italy and France at Euro 2008.

But while Elia admitted that the Dutch have yet to set the finals alight, he is confident that playing five time winners Brazil will bring the best out of his team mates.

Elia is confident that he can play some part against Brazil after coming off the bench in each of Netherlands' games so far.

And the Ajax youth product is not daunted at the prospect of facing one of the tournament favorites, Brazil, and said that Netherlands will approach the game like any other.

Elia said when they came to South Africa they only had one thing in their minds and that is to reach the final.

He added that they came to South Africa to become world champions and they are going to do everything to make it happen.

Looking at the FIFA World Cup quarter-finals, Brazil will play Netherlands tomorrow morning at 2am and at 6.30am Uruguay will take on Ghana.

Argentina will play Germany at 2am on Sunday morning and at 6.30am Paraguay will face Spain.
