RVP, Robben, Sanchez and Spanish guns coming to get Socceroos at World Cup Netherland's Robin van Persie. Australia's last outings against quality opposition were 6-0 defeats to Brazil and France. Neymar first and then Franck Ribery tore the Australian defence to shreds. That's the good news. The bad news is Australia is facing some of the world's hottest attacking threats in Group B and perhaps the only Australian giving a sigh of relief when the draw went up was recently retired Mark Schwarzer. Let's look at some of the superstars who will be hunting Socceroos in June. Robin van Persie, Netherlands. The Manchester United spearhead has a history of injuries. Perhaps we can get lucky. If not he could be the biggest tormentor of our creaky defence. Capable of all types of strikes from powerful headed goals to wonder volleys and everything in between, and is a stunning dribbler who will enjoy running at Lucas Neill. He has 41 goals in 79 games for the Netherlands and one of the top few strikers in world football. Arjen Robben celebrates a goal for FC Bayern Munich. Arjen Robben, Netherlands. The former Chelsea and Real Madrid player is one of the best in the world with the ball at his feet. He has pace, dribbling skills and crossing ability and loves cutting in from out wide. At 29, he's hitting his peak and scored the winner on the biggest European stage, giving Bayern Munich the 2013 Champions League triumph a year after missing a decisive penalty in the final. Alexis Sanchez, Chile. Barcelona paid $70 million to sign the diminutive winger from Udinese in Italy and he has hit the ground running as the club's second-highest scorer behind Lionel Messi. He can play on either wing or as a central striker and has scored 22 goals in 64 games for his country so far. Two of those gained him worldwide headlines, coming against England at Wembley last month. The champions. A tough test above all for Socceroos. David Villa and Fernando Torres, Spain. The Spanish team was short on goals during qualifying, with their progress built on a rock solid defence including Sergio Ramos and Gerard Pique. Villa was the silver boot winner four years ago, scoring five goals and keeping Fernando Torres out of the starting line up. Torres has his struggles at Chelsea, but will relish lining up against the Socceroos. Alvaro Negrado, Spain. Negardo was a superb servant for Sevilla, scoring some 70 goals in under one every two games over four years there. He moved to Manchester City before the start of the season and has struck an imposing partnership with Sergio Aguero. In the form of his life, Negrado who first made the Spanish team four years ago, is firming as a starter at the 2014 World Cup. Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Cesc Fabregas, Spain. So incisive have these three been over the past four years that it often hasn't mattered the form of the front men in the Spanish team. They share game time at Barca and have the guile and goals to knock Australia for eight or ten, let alone six. Iniesta scored the winning goal in the final in South Africa and fabregas is getting more prolific by the year.
